SOLiD

In the world of batteries, a solid-state design has advantages over batteries that use a liquid – including lithium-ion batteries. Safer and higher in energy density, the solid-state battery is considered the future generation of batteries. The EU-funded SOLiD project will create a sustainable and cost-efficient pilot-scale manufacturing process. It will use roll-to-roll (R2R) dry extrusion coating for the blend of cathode active material, solid polymer electrolyte, and conducting additives. The metallic lithium anode will be produced by R2R pulsed laser deposition. SOLiD aims to enable sustainable manufacturing of advanced high-performance Generation 4b (solid-state) Li-ion batteries to support electromobility with minimised amount of critical raw materials (Co and Li), and with superior performance and safety.
