Development of segregated networks for the next generation of high-performance batteries beyond lithium (SegNetBatt)

Project Description

The relentless growth in demand for electrical energy has driven the widespread adoption of Li ion batteries as the primary portable energy storage device over the last three decades. However, the limitations of lithium and cobalt resources, including their low abundance, uneven distribution, and associated costs, have created a pressing need to explore alternative battery chemistries based on other elements beyond lithium. This proposal aims to make a groundbreaking leap forward in the development of the next generation of high performance batteries, going beyond the limitations of lithium-based technologies.
