Towards mastering the electrodeposition of lithium in solid-batteries for transport electrification

加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多（Justin Trudeau）于2021年6月宣布，2035年后，加拿大将只销售零排放汽车和轻型卡车。该声明是过去十年来不同利益相关者要求用替代可再生能源取代石油和天然气的一系列声明中的最新声明。目前，只有少数技术已经开发到这一目的，其中，可充电电池可以说是最有希望在所提出的时间轴内广泛使用。 随着全球对可充电电池的需求飙升，加拿大建立一个能够确保供应安全的国内行业并在这个快速扩张的市场中占有一席之地至关重要。Blue Solutions Canada和Schougaard实验室之间的战略工业联盟是满足这一需求的努力之一。具体来说，位于布切尔维尔（QC）的Blue Solutions Canada具有独特的优势，可以快速扩张，因为他们已经开发了几十年的锂金属聚合物（LMP©）电池。凭借LMP©技术，Blue Solutions Canada成为第一家将基于金属锂的电池引入汽车和固定市场的公司。由于电解质也是无液体的，这种全固态电池提供了上级安全性，除了使用锂金属而不是标准石墨阳极的简单性。该提案的目标是开发一系列最先进的分析技术，用于全固态LMP©电池的持续开发，特别是改进锂剥离和电镀工艺，以提高性能并降低成本。

Prime minister Justin Trudeau declared in June, 2021 that only zero emission cars and light trucks will be sold in Canada after 2035. This statement is the latest in a long series of declarations over the past decade by different stakeholders demanding oil and gas to be replaced by alternative renewable energy sources. Currently, only a few technologies have been developed to this end, and of these, the rechargeable battery is arguably the most promising for widespread use within the proposed timeline. With a skyrocketing global demand for rechargeable batteries, it is critical that Canada builds up a domestic industry that can ensure supply security and a share of this rapidly expanding market. The strategic industrial alliance between Blue Solutions Canada, and the Schougaard laboratory is one effort towards meeting this demand. Specifically, Blue Solutions Canada, located in Boucherville (QC) is uniquely positioned to expand rapidly as they have developed Lithium Metal Polymer (LMP©) battery for decades now. With the LMP© technology Blue Solutions Canada has been the first to bring to the automotive and stationary market a battery based on metallic lithium. Since the electrolyte is also liquid free, this All-Solid-State-Battery offers superior safety in addition to simplicity of using lithium metal rather that the standard graphite anode. The target of this proposal is to develop a series of state-of-the art analytical techniques for used in the continued development of the All-Solid-State LMP© battery, specifically to improve the process of lithium stripping and plating, in order to increase performance and lower costs.
