HighSpin

The EU-funded HighSpin project aims to strengthen the position of the European battery industry by delivering the next generation of battery cells for automotive and aviation applications. In particular, it aims to develop a cell with a silicon/graphite anode and lithium nickel manganese oxide cathode. The HighSpin cell will be designed for 2 000 deep cycles and will deliver an energy density of 390 Wh/kg. Project activities will include microstructure optimisation of the active materials, development of high-voltage electrolyte formulations, high-speed laser structuring of the electrodes, and the inclusion of cell-level sensors. Researchers aim to bring the technology to TRL 6.
