INTELLIGENT EURECAT

High voltage lithium batteries with a higher energy density, a faster charge and a longer useful life.

The IntelLiGent project designs and develops electrode structures, supported by modelling, for a high energy density (>350 Wh/kg) while maintaining fast charging capacities (>2C).

IntelLiGent balances the need to include a high amount of active material in the structure of the electrode for high-energy while facilitating the transport of mass, power and heat for high-power operation.

The project refines the strategies to stabilise the interfaces for a long cycle lifetime, focusing on the stabilisation of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) against mechanical degradation and attack from transition metals ions, and stabilising the interface between the electrolyte and high-voltage active materials by a tailored cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI). The IntelLiGent battery cell has a long life cycle (>2000 deep cycles) with 80% remaining capacity.

IntelLiGent scales up sustainable and low-cost manufacturing processes using aqueous processing of cathodes and low-CO2 synthetic silica-graphene composite anode materials.

Also, IntelLiGent encourages the acceptance of the solutions developed in adapting the results to commercial applications, along with guaranteeing compliance with the battery regulations of the European Union.

Eurecat participates in the IntelLiGent project through the Waste, Energy and Environmental Impact (WEEI) Unit, demonstrating the recyclability of the prototypes developed.
