FUNctional Coatings of sulfide electrolYtes for lithium Solid-State Batteries - FUNCY-SSB

Project summary

Rationale / Needs to be addressed: Sustainable and high-performance solid-state electrolytes (SSE) address a clear need in battery R&D. Objectives: FUNCY-SSB will develop sustainable by design SSEs with enhanced electrochemical performance. A synergistic combination of sulfide electrolytes and polymers as functional surface coatings will be used to fabricate SSEs. Semantic technologies for digitalising synthesis and manufacturing processes will improve interoperability and speed up the development. Recycling studies and economic/ecological potential analyses will address recyclability and sustainability of the SSEs. A pouch cell prototype will demonstrate the functionality of the FUNCY-SSB electrolyte. Potential applications: The advancements will enable solid-state Li-ion batteries for transportation. Impact and potential benefits: The results will impact the availability of components for future batteries. Advanced SSEs can improve EU competitiveness in the battery R&D landscape.
