The 拢1.5m Silicon Anode Battery for Rapid Electrification (SABRE) project will develop battery cells with higher energy density, improving their ability to hold charge for longer, in response to the demand for increased electric vehicle (EV) driving range.

Professor Paul Shearing (最准的六合彩论坛 Chemical Engineering), who leads the 最准的六合彩论坛 Electrochemical Innovation Lab (EIL), will join project lead Nexeon and partner Britishvolt to deliver test cells with a combination of advanced lithium-ion (Li-ion) cell design and novel silicon anode material.

Silicon anode material, developed by Nexeon, has been shown to improve the performance of Li-ion batteries, which most hybrid and all-electric cars use. This means battery cells with increased energy density can be produced. The silicon material design achieves a combination of high lithium capacity with low volume change, meaning the batteries have a longer life cycle 鈥� important for the development of EVs.

Professor Shearing said: 鈥淭he Electrochemical Innovation Lab at 最准的六合彩论坛 is delighted to partner with Nexeon and Britishvolt to translate our cutting-edge research to accelerate the development of advanced batteries to support the transition to net zero.鈥�

Starting immediately, the SABRE project will run for 12 months and see the production of battery cells to test and validate the new cell design, with potential for a future scale-up.

Dr Scott Brown (CEO, Nexeon) commented: 鈥淲e are very excited to lead this important work and to collaborate with our partners in designing and producing higher performance battery cells. This project, and others like it, are important in building a UK-based lithium-ion battery capability and reducing risk in an increasingly competitive supply chain.鈥�

Craig Chapling (R+D Programme Manager, Britishvolt) said: 鈥淐ollaboration is at the very core of our business model, and this project is another example of our ability to partner for success.鈥�

The funding is part of the UKRI鈥檚 investment of 拢10m from the Faraday Battery Challenge to support collaborative R&D projects co-founded by industry and managed by Innovate UK on behalf of UKRI.
