This project aims to study the life cycle of the production of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, from mining to recycling, passing through assembly of the pack, and to use AI technology to trace CO2 emissions at every stage of the process to produce a long-lasting battery with minimal impact on the environment. Optimizing the production process would reduce the material development time and the manufacturing cost of the cells. To lower the price of the pack, we will work on dry solvent-free electrodes and will optimize the assembly architecture of modules and packs.The project will enable predictive analysis and the production of a Li-ion battery certificate. The use of AI for traceability of battery components using "computer integrated manufacturing" (ICM) will optimize this process and enable the creation of new intellectual property (IP) with a patent of base. The technology may be sold or licensed to precursor mining producers and cell manufacturers in North America. Electric vehicle companies will then be able to use it in their manufacturing processes. The results of this project will focus on efficient energy storage, which has become the backbone of the electrification of society. This is a necessary step to reduce global warming and CO2 emissions from fossil fuel-based economic and transportation activities.
