SAFELiMOVE
The SAFELiMOVE project is a research and innovation project (LC-BAT-01-2019) and will develop lithium metal (LiM), high voltage cathode materials and hybrid solid electrolytes for electric vehicle applications.
Uniresearch was hired by the initial consortium to write and compile the grant application. After approval of the project, Uniresearch has become responsible in the SAFELiMOVE project, Uniresearch has been assigned the task of project management facilitator and an active role in the dissemination, exploitation and communication.
SAFELiMOVE will develop a new lithium-metal (LiM) battery cell technology based on a safe, reliable and high performing solid-state electrolyte. SAFELiMOVE delivers innovations in five main technology areas: development of nickel-rich layered oxide cathode materials; high specific capacity Li-metal anode materials; advanced hybrid ceramic-electrolyte with improved ion conductivity at room temperature; interface adoption for effective Li transport by surface modification and/or over-coatings, and knowhow creation for the development of scale up production of all-solid-state batteries. By higher energy density batteries towards 450 Wh/kg, faster charging and longer cycle life, SAFELiMOVE aims to meet future battery requirements for EVs. Thus, the range of EVs will be extended and the electromobility and decarbonization will be further pushed forward with impact in climate change scenarios.
The project consortium consists of 14 partners from 6 EU countries and 1 partner from Canada.
