The solid-state battery technologies has become a hot topic of development for reducing carbon emissions. Optimization of Interfaces in Quasi-solid state Lithium Metal Batteries (3Interfaces) responds to the need for the development of a safe, novel, highly energy efficient solid-state battery, based on cobalt-free cathode (LNMO), Li metal (LiM) anode, and a safer quasi-solid electrolyte for application in electric vehicles. The general objective of 3Interfaces is to conduct a holistic study of the interactions between high-voltage cathode and hybrid electrolytes to develop interface modifications to overcome the intrinsic limitations of current techniques. The project also addresses a new low-cost synthesis (cobalt free), an urgent problem calling for long-term independence from this critical raw material. 3Interfaces is built by a multidisciplinary and highly research-experienced consortium that covers battery material experts, modelling, and cell testing.
