Project description
Thin-film solid-state batteries for mass-market applications
Rechargeable (lithium-ion) batteries are nearing their full potential due to the limitation of their fundamental component – liquid electrolyte. Solid electrolyte batteries (solid-state batteries) have around twice the energy density, better performance, and are safer. However, the complexity of their manufacturing prevents their application to mainstream consumer devices. In this context, the EU-funded TheBatteries project will develop very low production cost thin film solid-state batteries for mass-market applications (smartphones, smartwatches, wearables and other devices). The project will implement portable device pilots with the innovative batteries through tight collaborations with original equipment manufacturers, generate early market traction through various wearable device verticals, and build a production facility to manufacture thin film batteries to meet the early demand.
