Solid INTERface Batteries - SINTER

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Project SINTER, Solid INTERface Lithium Ion Batteries, will investigate novel materials and processes to formsolid state batteries and optimise their interfaces. Partners Loughborough University and Johnson MattheyTechnology Centre will utilise a synergistic theoretical and experimental approach to investigate a range of Liconducting glass-ceramic electrolyte materials and consequently the effect of dopants on the Li mobility, andthus performance and thermal stability. Loughborough University will use computer modelling studies to studystatic lattice simulations of project materials, MD and Ab initio methods to identify Li–ion transportmechanisms across electrolyte bulk, surfaces and electrode–electrolyte interfaces and a combinatorialapproach to mapping the phase space to explore the transition from glassy to crystalline phases JohnsonMatthey will fabricate the novel electrolytes defined by modelling work and investigate various approaches tointegrate the solid electrolytes with different electrode materials, including assessement of feasibility of thenew materials for tape casting and 3D printing deposition methodologies.
