HORIZON-CL5-2027-04-Two-Stage-D2-07: Novel approaches towards next-generation battery concepts, leveraging the enabling role of innovative advanced materials

We can contribute to the design, synthesis and characterization of innovative electrode materials and architectures for emerging battery technologies, with particular emphasis on sodium-ion, lithium-sulfur and other post-lithium-ion systems (i.e. Zn ion batteries). Our activities would include the development of advanced carbonaceous, inorganic and organic redox-active materials, together with the investigation of structure-property-performance relationships at the electrode and cell levels. We would perform comprehensive physicochemical and electrochemical characterization to identify degradation mechanisms, charge-storage mechanisms and performance-limiting factors, and to guide iterative materials optimization.
