Sustainable advanced materials for Solid-State Sodium-Ion BATteries: an efficient, safe and eco-friendly energy storage system - 4SIBAT

Project summary

Solid-state sodium-ion batteries (SSSIBs) are emerging as the most efficient near-term solution for energy storage that avoids the use of critical raw materials. However, there is still a need to develop materials that can be used in the electrodes and electrolyte to meet the performance requirements in terms of energy density and stability. 4SIBAT project pursued the design and production, through efficient and scalable processes, of (i) sustainable carbon materials from green monomers and (ii). optimized solid-state electrolytes based on hybrid conductive gel-polymer and single ion membranes. By combining these innovative and sustainable components it is intended to have, at the end of the project, a prototype of Sustainable-SSSIB (4SIBAT) with an optimized architecture able to competitively meet the demands of a robot in real operating conditions. With the 4SIBAT project we contribute to the EU's ambition to become a world leader in renewable energy and its secure supply.
