Dry Processing of functional materials into semi-finished Textiles for next-generation energy storage - DryProTex
Project summary
Aim of the project is to establish a new solvent-free Dryfilm technology for the production of freestanding, flexible, multi-functional, semi-finished textile films with broad applicability, e.g. as filter mats, catalyst layers etc. The application area of the project addresses battery electrode manufacturing for two kinds of next-generation energy storage devices: Li-S and Na-battery cells and SoA MnO2 cells for enhanced energy density at reduced costs. Conventional coating processes with expensive drying steps will be replaced by our technology with huge economic and ecologic benefits. A European consortium has been set up along the value chain, covering material, process, equipment and battery cell development. As a main outcome equipment will be designed and implemented in the process line at IWS for demonstrating the potential of this disruptive technology. Our aim is strengthening Europe’s future position in multifunctional materials, equipment design and battery cell productionProject Details
