Upscaling LiFePO4 battery production for Bolivia

他说：“玻利维亚有很大一部分人口依靠电网生活。这项提议旨在帮助玻利维亚Yacimentos de Litio玻利维亚诺斯公司(YLB)和当地学术界生产低成本电池，与太阳能电池板相结合，为遭受能源贫困的多达25万个家庭提供电力，能源贫困对妇女和儿童的影响不成比例。该项目将开始应对扩大电池材料制造的挑战，重点是将英国在这些领域的专业知识转移到玻利维亚。可行性研究将确定主要科学需求领域，并提出通过与联合王国交流知识在中期内填补这些空白的机制。拟议的合成方法将在剑桥大学和总部位于剑桥的中小型企业CB2Tech进行试验，并对磷酸铁锂电池进行全电池测试。该提议将促进英国和玻利维亚专家(来自英国地理学会和剑桥的英国专家)在锂电池原材料和技术方面的交流。即使没有进一步的干预，这项研究和试点预计也将在24个月内加快为目标数量的社区生产电池的道路，消除玻利维亚专家在没有英国知识的情况下进行研究和实践的需要。

"A large proportion of the Bolivian population live off the electricity grid. This proposal aims to aid the Bolivian company Yacimentos de Litio Bolivianos (YLB), and the local academic communities, to produce low cost batteries to combine with solar panels to provide electricity for up to 250,000 families suffering from energy poverty, energy poverty disproportionally affecting women and children.This project will begin to address the challenge of upscaling the manufacture of battery materials by focusing on translating the UK's expertise in these areas to Bolivia. The feasibility study will identify the areas of principal scientific need and propose mechanisms for filling these gaps over the medium term through knowledge exchange with the UK. Proposed synthesis methods will be trialled and full-cell testing of lithium-iron phosphate batteries will be performed at the University of Cambridge and the Cambridge-based SME CB2Tech.The proposal will facilitate an exchange of UK and Bolivian experts (the UK experts coming from the British Geographical Society and Cambridge) in lithium battery raw materials and technology. Even without further intervention, this study and pilot is expected to accelerate the path to producing batteries for the target number of communities within 24 months, removing the need for research and practice that Bolivian experts would otherwise undertake without access to UK knowledge."
