Project description
Industrial IoT with high-temperature battery solutions
Current battery technologies falter between 200 ºC and 400 ºC due to performance and safety issues, posing a challenge for energy-intensive industries requiring robust industrial IoT solutions. In this context, the EIC-funded OxyBatt project is developing an innovative thin-film rechargeable battery that uses oxygen storage. Designed for intermediate temperatures, OxyBatt is inherently safe and thermally stable, ideal for hazardous environments. Unlike conventional batteries, it avoids the use of scarce elements like cobalt and lithium, aligning with the EU’s sustainability goals. Through customisation and rigorous testing, OxyBatt promises to revolutionise predictive maintenance in harsh industrial settings, paving the way for a new market in industrial IoT and setting the stage for commercialisation and startup creation.
Objective
The project OxyBatt addresses a pressing need for portable energy storage in the intermediate temperature range. Currently, no battery technology is capable to operate between 200 ºC and 400 ºC, due to issues related to performance degradation and safety concerns of commercial systems. This limitation has a substantial impact on the penetration of industrial internet-of-things solutions in energy-intensive industries, where high temperature and risk of explosions are common, and hinders the application of advanced predictive maintenance and safety tools. OxyBatt will cover such a critical gap by offering a new battery product, built upon an innovative technology for a thin-film rechargeable system that utilizes oxygen storage. Unlike conventional commercial batteries, the system is inherently safe and thermally stable, making it well-suited for use in hazardous environments at high temperatures. The core technology behind OxyBatt has no reliance on scarce elements such as Co and Li, which is currently a concern for European Union’s battery ecosystem. Through a user-centered approach, the product will be customized and refined throughout the project in order to be seamlessly integrated and tested in a commercial industrial IoT device. This activity will demonstrate the potential for the OxyBatt device to enter a huge market, namely predictive maintenance in harsh industrial environments, which is inaccessible by current solutions. Complementary co-development and business activities will maximize the potential of the new battery and will establish a clear roadmap for commercialization, including startup creation.
