Introduction from the coordinator

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

The CoFBAT project has reached its 18 month. Based on work already carried out, CoFBAT enters into the 3rd step of development: starting activities dealing with upscaling and validation. In the last months we have been active not only in technical work but we also disseminated our work in different events like the INEA event H2020 “Low TRL Smart Grids and Storage Projects” organized by INEA (Innovation and Networks Executive Agency of the European Union) and the first webinar on Advanced Materials of the CoFBAT project, held on 10th of March.

Technically deeper understanding on materials performance in coin cells have been gathered gaining understanding on aging phenomena of active materials and their interaction with electrolytes and cell disassembling. The information gathered has been reported in deliverable 5.1: ‘Protocols for cell disassembling methodology and separation of components’ and is of importance for material development, cell upscaling and recycling. The full report can be found on our website<https://www.cofbat.eu/reports>.

Herewith please enjoy our third issue of CoFBAT newsletter.
