Lithium Metal Coating Technologies for Future Generation Batteries - LiMeCore

Project summary

Clean and cost-efficient energy storage is one of the major challenges for Europe and thus there is a need for high-performance energy storage devices beyond the current SoA. The lithium metal anode is considered to be a key component for next-gen batteries. However, scalable technologies for production of thin Li films with tailored surface properties are still lacking. The objective of LiMeCore is to develop stable lithium metal anodes using scalable manufacturing processes. This will be achieved using innovative interface engineering and surface modification concepts. Improved batteries for BEV are targeted and will be supported by the LiMeCore prototype demo cell. The electrification of the mobility sector and especially, the development of improved batteries is an emerging market opportunity and companies along the value chain can profit from this growth sector. LiMeCore is aiming for bringing innovations to this market and to contribute to a sustainable future and economic growth
