Solid-state batteries for electromobility applications – Towards market integration by 2030, through Horizon Europe funding program.

Abstract

In the context of decarbonisation of Europe by 2050, solutions need to be developed to accommodate our society to less dependency on fossil fuels energy, especially in the transportation sector. Innovative batteries have been at the core of research for electromobility applications. This thesis considers the most advanced ones at this stage: Solid-state batteries.

Several materials for anode, cathode and electrolyte have been reviewed and strategic choices have been made to build a project answering an example of Horizon Europe call, namely “Advanced materials and cells development enabling large-scale production of Gen4 solid-state batteries for mobility applications”. Additional expertise needed to answer this call have been highlighted and strategies towards maximising such a project’s impacts (through exploitation and communication strategies) have been drafted. Overall, this thesis provides a comprehensive path to commercialisation for solid-state batteries in the transportation sector, through European fundings.
