Descrizione del progetto
Stampa di batterie al litio più sicura ed economica
Rispetto ad altre tecnologie, le batterie agli ioni di litio (LIB) sono una modalità di stoccaggio dell’energia relativamente nuova. Ampiamente utilizzate in elettronica, sono ricaricabili e possiedono un’alta densità di energia. La richiesta di LIB più sicure, affidabili e accessibili è in aumento. Per soddisfare questa crescente esigenza, la tecnologia di stampa 3D si sta dimostrando come la soluzione più praticabile. Il progetto 3D-PRESS, finanziato dall’UE, svilupperà e promuoverà la tecnologia di stampa 3D nella produzione di LIB allo stato solido. Il progetto offrirà nuovi materiali stampabili che faciliteranno la crescita della produzione di LIB allo stato solido completamente stampabili in 3D.
Obiettivo
The main goal of the 3D-PRESS project is to advance in the 3D printing concepts for safer, cheaper and customizable all-solid state Li-ion batteries (LIB). More specifically, the project is focused on the design, production, characterization and testing of 3D printed NASICON-type glass-based electrolytes for 3D printed batteries.
In 3D-PRESS, glass-based compositions will be designed and synthesized in order to obtain printable glass-based electrolytes with superior conductivity and functional properties. The produced glasses will be thermally and electrochemically characterized in order to investigate their sinter-crystallization behaviour (tailoring suitable sintering treatments) and electrochemical performances. The most promising electrolyte compositions will be selected to be printed in free-form robust self-standing structures in order to obtain 3D batteries with high active area (allowing high specific energy and power per unit volume).
3D-PRESS represents a cutting edge multidisciplinary approach for the development of reliable and customizable all-solid state 3D LIBs, especially interesting for micro-power applications such as the ones for Internet of Things (IoT). The project will provide a new family of printable materials increasing the short list of available compositions, especially solid electrolytes, opening the door to the development of a new generation of fully printable all-solid state 3D LIBs.
A high impact on the future career of the candidate is expected by complementing his current background with new skills in one of the more relevant Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), 3D-printing, applied to the crucial field of the Energy Storage. Moreover, the host institute will offer unique opportunities to re-enforce the technology transfer competences of the candidate by carrying out an industrial secondment and by the involvement in the KIC Innoenergy community.
