Project description
Making a new generation of eco-friendly batteries
One way to reduce pollution is to switch from petrol cars to eco-friendly, electrical vehicles. However, this requires a significant improvement in today’s rechargeable batteries. The EU-funded BATNMR project proposes a new approach based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to measure the dynamics of the multiple electrode-electrolyte interfaces and interphases in batteries. NMR methodology with new dynamic polarisation techniques will be crucial in an interdisciplinary effort to design chemistry-based solutions for batteries, develop materials’ specifications, interfaces and nanoparticles for efficient technology, enabling the creation of new, efficient, durable, rechargeable batteries.
