SubsidieMeestersMEDIATED BIPHASIC BATTERY
The MeBattery project aims to develop a next-generation flow battery technology that balances sustainability, efficiency, and longevity, using innovative thermodynamic concepts and non-critical materials.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) have become key elements for achieving a sustainable energy and transportation system. Among the ESSs, different battery technologies hold great promises for enabling the necessary transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources.
Limitations of Current Technologies
However, state-of-the-art flow (All-Vanadium and Zinc Br2) and static (Na-ion and Li-ion) battery technologies fail to satisfy all key performance indicators, such as:
- Sustainability
- Cycle life
- Recyclability
- Energy and power decoupling
- Cost
- Energy density
Project Objective
The overall objective of the MeBattery project is to lay the foundations of a next-generation battery technology, which will overcome critical limitations of state-of-the-art battery technologies. This new technology aims to exhibit an excellent balance among the key performance indicators.
Innovative Approach
The radically new vision of this novel battery technology relies on a combination of unconventional thermodynamically-driven concepts that will lead to a paradigm shift in energy storage. The proposed new battery technology relies on a flowing configuration system that:
- Possesses the intrinsic benefits of flowing systems (energy conversion reactor separated from energy storage reservoir)
- Boosts the energy density by storing energy in solid materials confined in the external reservoirs
- Guarantees the stability of the systems over long periods of time by using immiscible liquids
Consortium Expertise
Using the complementary expertise of the highly qualified partners of the MeBattery consortium (including 3 ERC awardees) in various fields such as:
- Computational science
- Materials science
- Organic chemistry
- Environmental chemistry
- Chemical engineering
- Electrochemistry
- Battery prototyping
Expected Outcomes
The final prototype aims to demonstrate a long-life, safe, and eco-friendly flow battery technology based on non-critical materials with the following specifications:
- Energy density of > 60 Wh L-1
- Projected lifespan of 10,000 cycles
- Energy efficiency of > 75%
- Thermal stability up to 50°C
