Researchers' Night 2025: "Energy Storage: A Journey Toward Sustainability," September 26, 2025, Bologna (Italy)
The University of Bologna is participating in Researchers' Night 2025, an event dedicated to discovering and sharing scientific research with the general public. Among the projects selected for this edition, BIONIC was presented.
Project Meeting - July 28, 2025
The project partners met remotely to discuss modeling data, the initial results obtained in a complete graphite/LFP cell, the comparison of experimental data regarding the in-cell reproducibility of rate capability and stability measurements using graphite containing chitosan as a binder and graphite containing CMC/SBR as a benchmark, and the results of the T-peel test.
Project Meeting - March 24, 2025
The meeting was held online. Modeling data on potential interactions at the interface between chitosan monomer and graphite were presented, along with experimental data on the in-cell reproducibility of rate capability and stability measurements using the best graphite formulation available at the time. Characterization measurements performed on the polymer binder were also discussed.
Project Meeting - January 28, 2025
A BIONIC project meeting was held at the Polytechnic University of Turin. The partners discussed the results of Workpackage 2, including modeling tests, electrode formulations, and cell testing.
