ElectroChemical Interfaces for energy conversion and storage: towards a carbon neutral society

Objective

The climate targets set by the EU with the goal of climate neutrality by 2050 require a transformation of all sectors of the economy
towards the use of renewables-based electricity, calling for joined forces between EU countries in order to achieve a more resilient
energy system. To bring us closer to the realisation of these ambitious goals, 12 academic and 6 industrial partners from
9 countries formed an international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral team — e-ChemIn. We are united by the idea of applying a
new paradigm in designing energy devices, which shifts the current approach of creating individual materials towards engineering
electrochemically ACTIVE MATERIALS INTERFACES. Working together will enable us to: 1) design multiple sets of electrochemical
interfaces using renewable, abundant, and circular materials and optimise them for new generations of energy conversion and
storage devices. Our lab-scale prototypes will outperform characteristics of current benchmarks and will be ready for further
developments at high TRLs (5-9); 2) develop multimodal approaches for the characterisation of interfaces operando at the
nanoscale, providing unprecedented insights into interfaces in action and making the characterisation of active interfaces accessible to the broader scientific community; 3) successfully establish processes for the recovery of critical raw materials from end-of-life devices
and apply them at the industrial scale; 4) to train 15 doctoral candidates in state-of-the-art electrochemical concepts and technologies
through the paradigm of interface-driven materials design, providing them with interdisciplinary research knowledge, professional
connections, communication and leadership skills, making them ready to face current and future challenges and to ensure the
valorisation of knowledge and ideas to products and services for economic and social benefit following the 17 UN Sustainable
Development Goals.

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.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
