Novel approaches towards next-generation battery concepts, leveraging the enabling role of innovative advanced materials (BATT4EU and IAM4EU Partnerships)

About this grant

Expected Outcome: Proposals are expected to contribute to the generation of innovative battery concepts to safeguard future European competitiveness through innovative battery advanced materials and technologies contributing to green energy usage through enhanced energy storage and management capabilities. Depending on the areas listed in the scope, proposals are expected to cover all the respective bullet points: Area A: Development and validation of low-cost battery chemistries particularly suited for electric mobility supporting a reliable and flexible energy flow to meet fluctuating demand by enabling better integration of diverse energy sources: Proposals are expected to provide the state-of-the-art benchmark for the performance of Design-to-Performance lithium-ion batteries [1] and sodium-ion batteries and compare the project’s improvements of performance targets to said benchmark. Main component (active and main inactive materials) cost of below €35 per kWh OR Area B: Development of high-performance battery, particularly suited for aviation and high-performance mobility boosting green energy adoption by leveraging advanced energy carriers and storage solutions to support demanding applications: Validation of advanced battery concepts achieving energy density exceeding 500 Wh/kg and/or Power density exceeding the state-of-the-art benchmark based on the selected application(s). OR Area C: Development of durable and reliable battery advanced materials and cell-level conce... EU contribution per project: EUR 2,500,000 to EUR 4,800,000 (euros, not converted). UK organisations can apply as the UK is associated to Horizon Europe. Check the topic conditions.
