FiveVB - Developing the next generation of batteries

The vision of the FiveVB project is to push the European lithium-ion battery industry and academia to take over a leading role in the development and manufacturing of materials and cells. With the aim of providing competitive lithium-ion cells and batteries for the automotive industry, following parameters shall be addressed within FiveVB: ● Energy density – increase by using a new combination of materials ● Costs – reduction through material choice ● Durability – increase by optimizing the materials ● Safety aspects – new cells should fulfill the standards ● Recyclability – investigate the environmental impact ● Scale-up for manufacturing – PHEV1 cellJRC.F.2-Energy Conversion and Storage Technologie
