Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
The project ECO COM'BAT (ECOlogical COMposites for high-efficient li-ion BATteries), funded by the EU and coordinated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC, is joined by ten partners from industries and research organizations. Objective is to develop the next generation of lithium-ion batteries – the high-voltage battery. For instance, application as cruising range is ones of the greatest challenges for the rapid implementation of electromobility in Europe, requiring improved electrochemical storage systems. However, better performance is not the only goal for the new battery. Compared to conventional batteries the new type should be more powerful and with regard to the materials used even more sustainable. The main task here is the substitution of conventional, often expensive, rare or even critical materials.
Lithium-ion batteries are the preferred source of energy for electric vehicles and consumer devices owing to their high energy density and reliability. But expectations rise with green car sales and consumer devices grow more and more complex. Consumers ask a lot from a new battery: better safety, longer life spans, higher energy density, better performance and wider range.
The scientists teaming up in the project ECO COM'BAT set out to develop a novel type of high-voltage battery. Their goal is to extend the range of electric vehicles, to shorten charging times, to reduce battery weight, to enhance stability and durability, and above all, to substitute critical or precious raw materials commonly used in conventional lithium-ion batteries. In fact, large attention is focused on sustainability and therefore the project is interested in the search for up-scaling and recycling methods.
Attività svolta da ENEA
Nel primo anno di attività l'ENEA si occupa della caratterizzazione dei materiali forniti dagli altri partner e impiegati nella produzione di elettrodi e celle su scala di laboratorio. Nel 2017 e nel 2018 le attività sono focalizzate su analisi superficiale e studio di invecchiamento, eseguiti mediante tecniche spettroscopiche ed elettrochimiche, di nastri elettrodici.
