Descripción del proyecto
Tecnologías avanzadas para baterías de litio-azufre de alta densidad de energía
El objetivo principal del Pacto Verde Europeo es acelerar el desarrollo de baterías recargables con una eficiencia excepcional de ida y vuelta para multitud de aplicaciones. A pesar del predominio de las baterías de iones de litio en el mercado, su capacidad de mejora está llegando a su límite. Ello subraya la importancia de la alta densidad energética inherente a las baterías de litio-azufre, sobre todo para aplicaciones en las que el peso es un factor crítico. El equipo del proyecto HEALING BAT, financiado con fondos europeos, creará un conjunto de materiales que pueden autorregenerarse, sensores y un sistema de gestión de baterías a medida. El objetivo es que estos elementos mejoren colectivamente la calidad general, la fiabilidad y la vida útil de las baterías de litio-azufre, a la vez que mitigan y rectifican los posibles daños.
Objetivo
"Europe must re-emerge as a global leader in battery technology by accelerating the development of underlying essential technologies and allowing a European battery cell manufacturing industry. As required in the EU Green Deal, rechargeable batteries with high round-trip efficiency are a vital technology that permits energy storage for numerous applications. The lithium-ion chemistries now dominate the market for rechargeable batteries. However, these are near the end of their improvement limits. In this direction, the advantage of the high energy density of Li-S batteries is especially significant for novel applications, e.g. where weight is a crucial parameter. The project aims to develop and implement self-healing concepts and materials in the critical battery components used in conventional Li-S batteries and extrapolate the ideas to develop a new class of self-healing structural batteries based on Li-S by investigating at the cell & component level. It will be built a toolbox of self-healing materials, sensors, and a customized Battery Management System to maximize the performance of the produced Li-S battery in terms of Quality, Reliability, and lifetime and to avoid or repair occurring damages; The BMS's goal is to govern the flow of energy to and from the battery system, monitoring sensor data with computational methods to identify events indicating degradation, as well as initiate self-healing actions. The resulting solution will revamp the European sector of rechargeable batteries with high round-trip efficiency energy storage for numerous applications, as specified in the EU Green Deal, consequently promoting innovative ideas needed to develop future sustainable batteries which demand fewer resources and create the groundwork for EU competitiveness. The project will be aligned with the Battery2030+ large-scale initiative within their ""Integration of smart functionalities"" theme, which supports sensing and self-healing."
