Acronym: PULSELiON
Type of project: EU projects
Role: Partner
Financing: Horizon Europe
Duration: 1.09.2022 – 31.08.2026
Laboratory: Laboratory for Internal Combustion Engines and Electromobility LICeM
Project description:
The EU aims to have at least 30 million zero-emission vehicles on the roads by 2030. In-house production of high-performance battery technology is key to the wider adoption of electric vehicles. The EU-funded PULSELiON project aims to develop the manufacturing technology for Generation 4b solid-state batteries. These batteries will comprise a lithium-metal anode, sulfide solid electrolytes and a nickel-rich nickel–manganese–cobalt cathode. A novel pulsed laser deposition technique will be adapted and modified into a single-step vacuum process for safe and efficient manufacturing of the batteries’ anode components. The cathode layer will be produced using conventional wet processing techniques.
