Bio-sourced Alternatives for Lithium-Silicon Anodes

Important results from the project

The project met its goals. It also generated several important additional results: it initiated new research projects and funding opportunities, expanded expertise in solid-state batteries and bio-based materials through publications, conferences, and academic seminars, and strengthened and broadened collaboration with industrial and academic partners, thereby laying a solid foundation for future research innovation and industrial implementation.

Expected long term effects

The project advances the development of sustainable, bio-based materials and quasi-solid-state electrolytes, supporting safer and higher-performance batteries. The scalable, eco-friendly production of silicon-graphite anodes paves the way for industrial adoption. Strengthened academic-industrial collaborations and new research initiatives will continue to drive innovation. Overall, the project contributes to greener, more efficient, and commercially viable battery technologies.

Approach and implementation

The project was carried out according to the planned activities. At LTU, three members were actively involved. Typically, biweekly meetings were held at LTU, monthly meetings were arranged with one senior scientist from Talga, and regular meetings were scheduled by the project coordinator with all project members. Overall, collaboration between partners worked well and the project proceeded according to the original timeline.
