Bærekraftige europeiske natriumionbatterier for stasjonære applikasjoner med forbedrede prosesser

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

The SPRINT project gathers 8 industries, 2 SMEs and 8 academic partners for 46 months to develop two sustainable, safe, and cost effective quasi-solid-state sodium-ion batteries for stationary energy storage. Using EU-sourced, non-toxic materials, SPRINT will scale optimised NFP cathodes, hard carbon from forest residues, and solvent-free polymer electrolytes. The project also advances dry electrode processing with PFAS-free binders to enhance sustainability. Strategic interface engineering will improve cycle life. Demonstrations will take place in Austria (portfolio hybridisation, balancing services) and Lithuania (residential PV, EV charging), with outreach to Morrocco, Tunisia, Kenya, and Sierra Leone. SPRINT targets 0.04€/kWh/cycle, >200Wh/kg, >420Wh/L, >500 W/kg, and >5,000 cycles, ensuring leak-free, safe operation. The Consortium will accompany all solutions to commercialisation, supported by the created Exploitation Board to facilitate their uptake.
