Integrating advanced materials, cell design and manufacturing development for high-performance batteries aimed at mobility (Batt4EU Partnership)
Projects are expected to identify and target at least one key manufacturing process for enhancement, and to focus on optimising and testing the specific critical process(es) within existing production lines rather than overhauling the entire production system. These processes must be critical to the transition from liquid electrolyte to solid-state batteries and have the potential for high-impact improvements in terms of production yield, quality, cost, and sustainability including energy consumption.
Expected outcomes:
- Support European battery cell manufacturers in their transition from incumbent (Gen.3) liquid electrolyte lithium-ion battery to high performance (solid-state) lithium-ion batteries;
- Increase diversity of chemistries, cell design (application-oriented) of existing production lines, enabling European Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to stay competitive;
- Scaled production for premium products is targeted in the medium-term (for specific applications such as aviation), and large-scale production is targeted in the longer term.
Planned opening date: 16 September 2025
