Europe to kick off a 10 years Battery Research thrust


Tuesday, March 26, 2019

The European research initiative BATTERY 2030+ brings together leading scientists and companies from all over Europe to achieve major progress in battery science and technology.

To successfully implement the energy transition and to store regenerative energy, better batteries are required.

BATTERY 2030+ is scheduled for a duration of ten years, with preparation for the project due to start this month.

“BATTERY 2030+ is about changing the way we have done research and development, for example by including Artificial Intelligence (AI),” said Professor Maximilian Fichtner, Head of the Energy Storage Systems Group of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Institute of Nanotechnology, which is a partner of the BATTERY 2030+ consortium.

Fichtner continues, “AI-based data evaluation of a large number of samples produced by robots might reveal the behaviour of certain materials and answer the question of how a material has to be structured to exhibit certain properties. “By pooling European expertise in these areas, we have the chance to be among the world’s leaders in battery development and to be competitive with groups in the USA and Asia.

“The duration of ten years of the BATTERY 2030+ initiative gives the partners the planning security needed in science when shaking at the foundations of the process.”

The BATTERY 2030+ research initiative is coordinated by Kristina Edström, Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Uppsala University in Sweden. “With BATTERY 2030+, we address all challenges encountered in the manufacture of high-performance batteries,” she said.

“For this purpose, we will establish a platform to more rapidly detect new battery materials by means of machine learning and AI. We are particularly interested in the interfaces in batteries, where reactions take place that adversely affect the battery’s service life. We will design smart functions of the complete system down to the battery cell level and pay particular attention to sustainability,” Edström adds.
