Advancing mobility through sustainable, robust, and innovative Battery Technology

Purpose and goal

The project aims to revolutionize sustainable mobility by collaborating to develop advanced battery technologies with enhanced energy density, faster charging capabilities, and improved life cycles. This collaborative effort leverages the strengths of partners, promoting knowledge exchange and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Through systematic experimentation and analysis, the project aims to generate fundamental knowledge that can drive innovations not only in sustainable mobility but also in broader energy storage applications.

Expected effects and result

The project´s primary outcome is to share knowledge and expertise that ultimately lead to the development of cutting-edge battery technology from battery cell to battery pack. The expected results are comprehensive data on performance, reliability, and efficiency of battery technology and innovative manufacturing processes and will be disseminated through technical reports and presentations. The project results lay the foundation for future larger projects and strategic activities by establishing a robust knowledge base for further research in energy storage technologies.

Planned approach and implementation

Establish new collaboration based on workshops, seminars, exchange programs for students and researchers visiting Sweden or USA. The plan is to visit each other once a year, and organize one workshop at USA and one at Sweden. Chalmers and Northvolt work together on material research and testing. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory works on Solid State Battery Cells integration and development based on the cell design from Chalmers and Northvolt. Abtery will work on building a battery pack based on the developed solid-state electrolyte battery that will fit into an electric motor.
