Materialer for null utslipps mobile energi system

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

The project aim to develop materials for batteries and hydrogen technology systems for the transportation sector. The work is intended to access and strengthen our share of the international battery market. The energy density is of major importance in electric vehicles, and lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are therefore generally preferred for this application. Chemistries based on Ni and Co related materials have issues with costs and toxicity, which must be overcome if they are to be used in high voltage LIBs. In order to achieve significant improvements in the energy density of conventional LIBs, there will be activities to improve the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. Battery and hydrogen technologies have been demonstrated for use in zero emission transport systems in many countries and regions around the world. However, further developments are needed before these technologies can be introduced into other transport sectors, such as heavy-duty transport by road, rail, or sea. The project will focus on battery and hydrogen value chains, systems, and applications where Norway can take leading position in the future. The work will focus on research that can lead to breakthrough development in materials and key components for batteries and hydrogen related technologies (fuel cells, electrolyzers, and gas separation membranes).
