Innovation & Networking days on All-Solid-State battery technologies
#LCBAT12019 CLUSTER FINAL EVENT
#LCBAT12019
Open to the public, the Innovation & Networking days is a unique two-day event aiming to connect the LCBAT12019 EU-funded projects to the public and key European and international stakeholders and associations, in the field of All-Solid-State Battery Technologies.
The four projects forming the LCBAT12019 cluster – ASTRABAT, SAFELIMOVE, SOLIDIFY and SUBLIME -, will present their main outputs on the development of next-generation battery (Solid-State) during three dedicated topical sessions. An industrial session in which cells and materials manufacturers are invited will foster the connection of the projects’ results with international markets. Finally, a panel discussion with the associations’ representatives will aim to answer how LCBAT1-2019 projects will meet the new regulation and market scenario.

ABOUT PROJECTS
ASTRABAT investigates and develops a new Li-ion cell architecture with an all-solid-state electrolyte design suitable for the use of new high-energy electrode materials and mass production.
The main aim of the SAFELiMOVE-project is to meet the requirements of (future) BEV users like faster charging and longer battery cycle life.
The SOLiDIFY project proposes a unique manufacturing process and solid-electrolyte material to fabricate Lithium-metal solid-state batteries – known as Gen. 4b on the EU battery roadmap.
SUBLIME’s overall aim is to significantly increase EV adoption by taking on the technical challenges that are presented by the consumer needs.

These projects have received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreements No 875029, No 875189, No 875557, No 875028.

ASTRABAT investigates and develops a new Li-ion cell architecture with an all-solid-state electrolyte design suitable for the use of new high-energy electrode materials and mass production. ASTRABAT is a four years European project launched in January 2020. It aims to develop optimal Lithium-ion battery solutions for the increasing demands of the electric vehicle market in particular.
The goal is to fulfil Europe’s need for a safe, high-energy, sustainable and marketable battery for green mobility that could be manufactured in Europe on a massive scale. To do so, the new ASTRABAT cells will enable:
ASTRABAT is part of a broader drive by the European Union to make electric mobility become the next transport mode and contribute to the EU overall goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80-95% by 2050 (currently, the transport sector is responsible for around one quarter of Europe’s GHG emissions). It is expected that e-mobility will represent 70% of the total rechargeable Li-ion battery cell market’s value in 2022 and that 70% of the EU electricity should be produced by renewable energies. Hence, the electric battery storage is vital in this transition to clean mobility and clean energy systems.
Higher energy density and power
Increased safety and longer life cycle
Larger operating temperature range
Lower electric vehicle costs
More and more automotive manufacturers are introducing BEVs (battery electric vehicles) and PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) into the automotive market.
However, the technological and commercial competitiveness of batteries is one of the main challenges that must be overcome if millions of EVs are to be launched in the near to mid-term. The main aim of the SAFELiMOVE-project is to meet the requirements of (future) BEV users like faster charging and longer battery cycle life. This will make possible to promote electromobility and will also have a direct impact on climate change scenarios. To facilitate this, SAFELiMOVE will develop a new solid-state-based technology to produce a safe, reliable and high performing battery.
The SOLiDIFY project proposes a unique manufacturing process and solid-electrolyte material to fabricate Lithium-metal solid-state batteries – known as Gen. 4b on the EU battery roadmap.
The concept is based on a solid nanocomposite electrolyte or nano-SCE. The nano-SCE enables a liquid-to-solid approach in the fabrication of the composite cathode and the solid-electrolyte separator. The general strategy to reach the target energy density of 1200Wh/L (400Wh/kg) in 20 minutes charging time is:
1. enabling the integration of high-energy NMC active materials and
2. development of new electrode architectures for high mass loading and enabled by the liquid-to-solid approach.
An added imposed challenge is a water-based cell assembly process. To this end, suitable protection of the high-energy NMC powder with ALD thin-film coatings is pursued. Finally, thin lithium foils with protective artificial interphase coatings will be developed for lamination on the nano-SCE separator.
SUBLIME’s overall aim is to significantly increase EV adoption by taking on the technical challenges that are presented by the consumer needs – especially the reduction in costs of EVs, increasing their capabilities regarding long distance traveling and fast charging.
SUBLIME concept entails development of a complete value chain, from requirements to testing, for new sulfide electrolyte based solid-state battery cells with high capacity and high voltage stability.
SUBLIME proposes the usage of high capacity and high voltage electrode materials. The battery will be inherently safe and will be able to operate at room temperature or lower; thus facilitating the start of the vehicle in broad operating conditions.
Interfaces showing a fast Li-ion transport will be developed in the project and partners will focus on developing intimate and (electro)-chemically stable interfaces with strong mechanical properties. The interfaces will be specifically designed to increase stability of the component and the malleable nature of the sulfide enables good interfacial contact.
SUBLIME will bring the sulfide electrolyte solid-state battery technology to TRL 6. The scale-up to pre-industrial volume will ensure that results are, indeed, scalable to large-volume commercial manufacturing. SUBLIME will deliver a roadmap to 2030, enabling eventual market entry by a very strong constellation of European partners.
