The focus is on innovative storage materials that can be used as electrodes in lithium-ion, sodium-ion and lithium-sulphur batteries as well as in supercapacitors. The main goal is to identify novel storage materials with potentially higher energy densities that are safe and can be produced at lower costs. The rapid charging and discharging over many cycles is one of the main focuses of this research.
E-magy nanoporous Si-material up-scaling next generation Li ion battery anodes (ESiLiB)
Granted within: EIT RawMaterials
The execution of this two-year project will thus result in an improved nano-porous silicon manufacturing process at reduced costs, improved circularity and process sustainability. The results of this project will be applied in production about 1 year after the end of the project (building time for the first recycling installation on scale).
The group Dispersive Solids will test silicon based anode concepts, with a focus on the improvement of the E-Magy material performance by the development and optimisation of a carbon coating.

Sodium-Ion and sodium Metal BAtteries for efficient and sustainable next-generation energy storage – (SIMBA)
A consortium led by the TU is breaking new ground in sustainable energy storage. The “SIMBA” project aims to develop a safe, low-cost and environmentally friendly all-solid-state-sodium battery for stationary use, which could help solve a major problem of the energy revolution.
The EU is supporting with eight million euros within the "Horizon 2020” program. SIMBA
