Giga-scale demonstration of 3d electrodes for automotive applications

英国的目标是到2030年禁止内燃机销售，到2050年实现碳中和，英国迫切需要高度创新的解决方案来实现这些目标。该公司还需要保持在全球电动汽车市场的竞争力，预计2022年全球电动汽车市场规模将达到680亿美元。该项目将利用Addionics开发的3D集电器制造技术，该技术已显示出电池性能的显著改善。它将建立在InnovateUK资助的Stella项目早期成功的基础上。Addionics已经开发了他们的制造技术，可以在UKBIC生产集成。Addionics开发了一种创新的化学不可知技术，可以利用当前最先进的电池化学。Addionics已经为许多小型涂层生产线提供了3D材料的即时下降，将这项技术放在了TRL6和MRL6上。通过千兆规模的3DCC验证，合作伙伴预计，在现有电池技术中采用Addionics 3DCC可以迅速发现为更广泛的英国电池行业创造价值的机会，并定义一种完全颠覆性的方法。因此，Addionics正在寻求颠覆电池创新的传统方法。Addionics打算利用UKBIC标准格式袋电池可用的每一种单元操作进行电池组装，并验证3DCC技术。该项目的目标是利用Addionics 3DCC材料进行完整的电池开发，通过混合、涂层、压延和切分，直到电池组装、形成和老化。使用UKBIC尖端的‘Giga-Factory’设施，帮助Addionics将开发转移到最新一代电流收集器的生产上。该项目的主要目标包括通过改进Addionics开发的最新电流收集器的制造效率、性能和环境状况，在具有商业代表性的规模上验证电极制造中的新垂直领域。

With the UK's aim to ban combustion-engine sales by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the UK urgently needs highly innovative solutions to meet these targets. It also needs to maintain competitiveness in a global EV market expected to reach $68bn in 2022\.The project will utilise technology developed by Addionics for 3D current collector fabrication that has shown significant battery performance improvements. It will build on the earlier success of InnovateUK-funded project STELLAR. Addionics have developed their manufacturing technologies where they can be produced for integration at UKBIC. Addionics has developed an innovative chemistry agnostic technology and can leverage current state of the art battery chemistries. Addionics already offers immediate drop in 3D materials to many small coating lines placing the technology at TRL6 and MRL6\. Through validation of 3DCC at giga-scale the partners expect that adoption of Addionics 3DCC for existing battery technologies could quickly identify an opportunity to create value for the broader UK battery industry and define a totally disruptive approach. As such Addionics is looking to disrupt conventional approaches in cell innovation.Addionics intend to use every unit operation for cell assembly available for standard format pouch cells at UKBIC and validate the 3DCC technology. The project is targeting a complete cell development taking Addionics 3DCC material through mixing, coating, calendaring and slitting, up to cell assembly, formation and ageing. Access to UKBIC cutting-edge 'Giga-Factory' facility to help Addionics transfer development to production of the latest generation of current collectors. Key objectives for this project include validating at commercially representative scales new verticals in electrode manufacture through improvements to the manufacturing efficiency, performance and environmental profile of the latest current collectors developed by Addionics.
