More about the project
This seed project is about creating better, safer, and more sustainable batteries by developing a new type of material called oxynitride glass-ceramics. These materials will serve as solid electrolytes, the part of the battery that helps electricity flow offering greater energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and improved safety compared to today’s batteries. By using abundant, recyclable, and environmentally friendly ingredients, the project also supports a circular economy. The end goal is to lay the foundation for next-generation rechargeable batteries that are both high-performing and climate-friendly.
The project is part of the Linnaeus Knowledge Environment: Advanced Materials.
