Silicon Alloying Anodes for High Energy Density Batteries comprising Lithium Rich Cathodes and Safe Ionic Liquid based Electrolytes for Enhanced High VoltagE Performance.

Project description

Driving electric vehicles to the future of battery technology

Driving range, cost and recharge times are the three major roadblocks to electric vehicle (EV) uptake. The roll-out of better charging infrastructure is expected to increase sales in the coming years. With this in mind, the EU-funded Si-DRIVE project will develop the next generation of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, allowing for cost-competitive mass market EVs. Specifically, the project will harness innovations in transformative materials and cell chemistry to deliver superior energy density, cycle life and fast charging capabilities. The technology consists of amorphous silicon coated onto a conductive copper silicide network as the anode with polymer/ionic liquid electrolytes and lithium-rich high-voltage (cobalt-free) cathodes via processes that are scalable and demonstrably manufacturable within Europe.
