Cold Sintering of Composites and Solid Electrolytes (CSi CASE)

固态电池有可能在能量密度、循环寿命和减少硬件/控制方面实现显著改善，同时实现更快的充电和理想的安全性。虽然许多汽车制造商都在研究固态电池，但到目前为止，这项技术仍处于技术准备水平较低的水平，被认为距离商业化还需要几年时间。电解液材料的处理、加工和规模化生产是实现固态电池可制造性的关键。该项目将利用能够实现的低能量处理技术来实现具有相关层尺寸的多层全固态电池。该项目旨在通过将两家处于电池材料和陶瓷加工创新前沿的领先组织-Johnson Matthee(英国最大的电池公司之一和全球领先的正极材料制造商)和谢菲尔德大学(具有先进陶瓷加工能力的陶瓷集团)相结合来应对这些行业挑战。

Solid state batteries have the potential to realise significant improvements in energy density, cycle life, and reduced harware/controls while enabling faster charging and ideal safety. Whilst numerous automotive manufacturers are known to be researching solid state batteries, thus far the technology remains at low technology readiness level and is considered to be several years from commercialisation. Handling, processing, and scaled production of the electrolyte materials, are critical to enable manufacturability of solid state batteries. This project will leverage an enabling low energy processing technology to achieve a multilayered all solid state battery with relevant layer dimensions.This project aims to address these industrial challenges by bringing together two leading organisations that are at the forefront of battery materials and ceramic processing innovation; Johnson Matthey (one of UKs largest battery companies and a leading global cathode material manufacturer) and University of Sheffield (ceramics group with advanced ceramics processing capability).
