Summary
Projects are expected to develop innovative battery systems technologies that will benefit several transport and mobile applications, by significantly improving performances and safety, as well as environmental sustainability and cost. The projects should focus on the battery system level, i.e., on the integration of battery cells into a battery system (e.g., a battery pack), considering mechanical, electrical and thermal aspects.
Detailed Call Description
Batteries are key for a climate neutral transport sector, which represents around 25% of the total CO2 emissions in the EU.
In order to leverage the full potential of the research ongoing in Europe at the battery material and cell levels, projects should consider the adaptation of battery system design to novel cell chemistries that will reach the market in the short-to-medium term (e.g., advanced lithium-ion or solid-state cells). Enhancing the cell-on-system volume ratio and/or weight ratio will increase the energy density and/or power density at the battery system level. Projects should consider new technologies (battery system materials, mechanical design, electrical architectures, thermal management strategies, etc.) for enhancing performances and safety (for example, novel lightweight materials with optimum thermal characteristics to decrease battery module and pack weight and simultaneously enhancing safety; new dielectric cooling liquids with enhanced fire-retardant properties; etc.).
Manufacturability and recyclability should be explicitly addressed, in order to reduce the manufacturing, refurbishment, dismantling and recycling costs as well as the carbon footprint of the new battery systems.
