Planar architecture all solid state batteries - PLARASBAT

Project summary

The all-solid-state lithium ion batteries is a long-sought target. They will have a wider operating temperature range and are safer than liquid electrolyte based counterparts. A large area sheet-like all solid state batteries (ASSB) innovative architecture is proposed. The “electrolyte supported” architecture thick-film battery is based on controlled deposition of electrodes onto a solid electrolyte thick film. Impact is expected as the batteries will be lighter, slightly flexible and compatible with large area electronics and flexible electronics devices. ASSBs can be used in wider temperature range, opening their use in harsh environments. The innovative ASSB architecture will provide quality energy storage in applications still no envisaged opening new markets. New knowledge will be produced in solid state electrochemistry and ceramic technology. The societal benefits are many, they do not use pollutant organic electrolytes, use less metals and are safer.
