The overarching R&I challenges lie in the development of solid-state electrolytes, cathode materials and anode materials enabling higher thermal and electrochemical stability while targeting higher energy/power densities, fast charging, cyclability and improved safety. These new materials should contribute to the control of thermal runaway at an early stage, and create non-propagation designs. Developments should range from using conventional materials to using Li metal-based anode materials, aiming at reducing the amount of cobalt used in the production in addition to the other expected outcomes as listed. The maximum award value is EUR 21 000 000.
