Constructing anode-free solid-state batteries to expand their use to drones, robots and aerospace systems
The purpose of the AfreeSSB project is to develop solid-state batteries (SSBs) with power densities >1000 W/L and energy densities >800 Wh/L, combined with fast charge and discharge, deep discharge cycles, long cyclic life and safe operation over a wide temperature range.
Potential applications for these batteries include mobile and high-end applications such as drones, robots, aerospace and urban mobility.
The selected innovation targets are:
- Develop anode-free thin-film SSBs with high power densities
- Transfer the anode-free concept to bulk cathodes for high power densities
- Develop operational characterisation methods
- Demonstrate the performance of SSBs in an operational environment
Programme and call: ERA-LEARN with funding from the Horizon 2020 programme.
Period: 2022-2024
