SAGELi is a 3-year project with 7 dedicated work packages to achieve the project objectives.
WP1 focuses on the technical administrative and financial management of the project.
WP2 involves developing cHLM materials for safer, high-performing Gen3 battery cathodes, morphologically optimised cDRS materials for safer Gen3 battery cathodes, and conducting safety and performance characterisation of CAM.
WP3 will develop novel electrolyte formulations and novel binders with high performance and safety, ensuring compatibility analysis with the developed electrolytes and electrodes.
WP4 will prepare the baseline for Gen3 reference cells with SoA materials and graphite anodes, while optilising the cathode forumation for SAGELi CAMs and novel binders at lab-scale. Tasks will also be dedicated to optimising process parameters for slurry upscaling and cHLM cathode production at pilot scale. Lastly, pouch cell assembly will be done using cHLM cathodes.
WP5 will measure the improved safety performance of SAGELi cells (WP4). Experimental characterisations of the components and optimised cell will be performed, and state of safety (SOS) model will be constructed to guide safe long-lifetime component and cell development (including overcharge, thermal runaway, and nail penetration).
WP6 includes sustainable-by-design appraoch and streamlined LCA, as well as environmental LCA dn life cycle costing assessment. The social acceptance and social LCA will also be applied and inform the dissemination and engagement of stakeholders.
WP7 will develop and implement the project’s Communicaiton and Dissemination plan, its tools and channels and means of engagement for target audiences. This will include clustering with EU projects and initiatives and establishing an advisory end-user group to ensure upscaling, and an exploitation strategy and IPR management.
