| Abstract Scope |
Li-ion batteries were introduced to the market three decades ago, and the gravimetric and volumetric energy density as well as cycle-life of modern Li-ion batteries has thus far not been exceeded by any other battery concept. Still there is plenty of room for improvement for lithium based batteries. In particular with respect to environmental impacts and safety characteristics of the battery. Furthermore, increasing the energy density by replacing traditional anode materials with lithium metal is highly desirable. Here, an overview over the multi-disciplinary approach on improving lithium based batteries at SINTEF is presented where examples including advances in high energy layered-oxides and the aqueous processing of such materials to reduce the energy consumption and discard fluorinated binders. Moreover, an overview of our work on cobalt free high voltage materials and solid polymeric and hybrid electrolytes to exclude critical raw materials and improve the safety of Li based batteries is given. |
