Project description
Bio-inspired surfaces for the next generation of advanced batteries
The European Green Deal aims to achieve climate neutrality across Europe by 2050, emphasising the reduction of emissions and a shift towards renewable energy sources. Essential to this transition are sustainable and efficient battery technologies, which play a key role in facilitating the widespread use of renewable energy. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the LESIA project aims to create bio-inspired surfaces and interfaces with electrochemical functionalities for battery components. These components will be developed using laser-based techniques and various nanoscale characterisation methods. The project is committed to exploring innovative chemical methodologies to overcome the challenges of current battery technology.
Objective
Addressing climate change is humanity’s greatest challenge in the 21st century. The European Green Deal has declared that Europe is committed to realizing a climate-neural society by 2050. To reduce carbon dioxide emissions from transport, power, and industry sectors, Europe must urgently change the energy paradigm, shifting to renewables. However, renewables are all intermittent, and facing the storage challenge. Secondary batteries offer highly efficient electrical energy storage capability, and become the key technology to achieve the large-scale application of solar/wind green energy and thus support the deep decarbonization of European energy system. European Commission estimated that the value of battery industry can reach €250 billion by 2025. Existing battery systems still suffer from low energy density and safety issues. There is huge gap between commercial batteries and advanced battery proposed by BATTERY2030+. Employing novel electrode materials are considered as promising strategies to develop next generation high performance batteries. However, these high capacity electrode materials raise significant challenges (dendrite, volume change, and degradation etc.) in practical application, which limit their commercialization prospects. LESIA will develop and construct bio-inspired surfaces/interfaces with electrochemical functionalities for the components of batteries using laser-based fabrication and emerging nanoscale characterisation techniques. LESIA will develop new surficial chemistry, and regulate the decisive electrochemical interfacial processes, and thus address the challenges of the high performance anodes and cathodes for next generation advanced batteries. LESIA will create new paradigm of advanced battery development by using cutting-edge laser-based surface/interface engineering technologies.
