HyLiST - Hybrid Lithium Metal-based Scalable Solid-state Battery Manufacturing

Revolutionising the European battery manufacturing industry for a cleaner and more resilient future.

Joining the effort to revolutionise the European battery manufacturing industry, the HyLiST project aims to lay the groundwork for the commercialisation of cleaner, longer-lasting, eco-friendly, safer and cobalt-free Generation 4b Solid State Batteries. Funded by the Horizon Europe Programme No. 101147688, the initiative shall respond to the increasing battery demand in European and world markets, minding the need for greener and safer solutions, whilst also contributing to a more resilient Europe by diminishing the dependency of raw materials in the manufacturing process. 

Over the span of 36 months, HyLiST aims to introduce a hybrid solid electrolyte with novel, safer, high energy efficient and power density solid-state Li-ion batteries, based on high-capacity cobalt- free cathode (LNMO) and high-energy Li metal (LiM) anode focusing on its application in the aeronautic and automotive industries. Though the proposition of such an innovative solution, HyLiST will have considerable scientific, economic, social and environmental impacts, propelling European competitiveness, resilience and reinforcing its sovereignty as well as an intrinsic alignment with the European Green Deal and the Paris Agreement´s objectives. To do so, HyLiST brings together a multidisciplinary and consolidated consortium of 13 partners from 9 countries, which includes 4 Research and Technology Organisations, 3 Universities, 3 SMEs and 3 Industrial partners. As an expertise-led consortium, each partner has a defined role and expected contribution to the project.

Tampere University focuses its research in this project on developing anode materials for next-generation batteries, their characterization, consolidation to PLD targets, and collaborating on their scale-up and optimization. Its expertise in materials processing assists in smooth transition to newer chemistries and related heat treatment design. It also focuses on electrochemical testing of cells and ex-situ characterization of cell interfaces. Tampere University’s upcoming battery materials laboratory and sensitive materials characterization equipment is strongly associated with expanding its materials technology expertise offering its partners possibility to optimize their processes, and pursue materials synthesis, testing, characterization, and in half-cell assembly.
