BIONIC aims to study sustainable and innovative binders, which also include self-healing features, for next generation batteries.
• Computational study of different binders
• Comparison of binder properties
• Identification of changes to be made to the binder for better performance
• Testing and characterizing the resulting electrodes and cells
• Verification of the predictive capacity of the simulations
The identification of the best, and low-cost, binder materials for battery electrodes has high technological significance and can lead to batteries with much higher power and energy, together with greater safety and durability.
