Safer and more efficient rechargeable lithium batteries: Aalto is taking part in new corporate cooperation projects
International projects aim to develop new more environmentally friendly materials and production methods for rechargeable lithium batteries. Aalto University researchers are taking part in two new cooperative projects to develop materials and manufacturing methods for lithium batteries for the future. The goal is to improve the efficiency and safety of the batteries, and to reduce the carbon footprint of their manufacture. Rechargeable lithium batteries are a key enabling technology in electric transport, in the storage of renewable energy and in consumer electronics. It is estimated that demand for batteries will grow at the rate of 25 per cent a year, as the EU expects to have 30 million electric cars on its roads by 2030. The batteries use raw materials with a limited supply, and these need to be used as efficiently as possible. It is also important to build a responsible and sustainable battery industry in Europe, says Aalto University Professor Tanja Kallio . NextGenBat project boosts the development of solid-state batteries The NextGenBat-projec t project led by Aalto University is developing materials and manufacturing methods for solid-state lithium batteries.
