SAFE, SUSTAINABLE, AND HIGH-THROUGHPUT PRODUCTION OF RELIABLE LITHIUM METAL ANODES FOR GEN 4B/4C/5 BATTERIES

Objective

Towards a dominant sustainable energy generation scenario in the EU, it is key to advance battery manufacturing industry to meet the large-scale demand in Europe, specifically SSBs Gen 4b/4c, and LSBs Gen 5. The deployment of high-throughput, sustainable production processes of LiM anodes must be developed and industrialised in the EU.
STELLAR will commit to deploy a new sustainable, industrially competitive roll-to-roll physical vapour deposition production method of LiM anodes to deliver high-purity, dense, and stable LiM anodes with low thickness while targeting a high production capacity at a competitive cost, reaching TRL7 by demonstration of a real-word 1st of kind EU-based LiM anode production pilot line, together with validation of this new generation of anodes in functioning cells (Gen4b/4c/5). This will be achieved starting from a R2R vacuum coater already available at ABEE's (pre-STELLAR), by: 1) Optimising the R2R, thermal evaporation of LiM and in situ sputtering of a chemically-engineered thin protective coating in the same vacuum chamber for stable LiM anodes; 2) Upgrade of the production equipment; 3) Apply advanced, non-destructive, intelligent inline thickness and roughness monitoring; 4) High-precision laser based cutting of anodes; 5) Fully automated QC based on data science and ML; 6) Implementation of circular economy strategy for maximise scrap recovery and recycling rates at batteries EoL. Additionally, to ensure future seamless integration in the European market, a data-driven DT with quick response times for integral process optimisation will be developed, as well as the design at module/pack level of the LiM-based batteries.
For that purpose, STELLAR is bringing together a wide experienced consortium led by ABEE, involving leading industrial technology developers and suppliers of batteries, materials and equipment, digital experts, academic institutions, and sustainability and management experts at European level.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
