The project will develop advanced safer materials and high performing cells for the next generation of Li-ion batteries suitable for mobility applications to meet BATTERY 2030+ targets for safety, performance, lifetime, sustainability and cost – pillars to strengthening European competitiveness in the battery sector.
A new era of e-mobility batteries
Advanced Safer Materials and High Performing Cells for the Next Generation of Li-Ion Batteries Suitable for Mobility Applications.
SAGELi aims to develop safer materials and cells that meet Batteries Europe’s 2030 targets for safety, performance, lifetime, sustainability and cost including EUCAR level <3. SAGELi’s new cathode active materials (CAM) contain no cobalt and are based on inherently-safe manganese-rich oxides.
Additional safety will be ensured by reducing CAMs’ active surface area and developing an innovative coating and safer binders for better adhesion, lower swelling and better processability to prevent safety issues from crack and inhomogeneities – along with flame-retardant electrolytes that target stability at high voltage.
