INERRANT

With an eye towards revolutionising the safety and sustainability of Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), INERRANT is set to address the urgent need for enhanced safety in Gen 3 LIB technologies, particularly for mobility applications. However, enhancing the safety of LIBs batteries is not just a technical challenge; it is a vital step towards sustainable and secure mobility. To achieve this goal, INERRANT is pioneering advancements in materials and processes that promise to redefine what is possible in battery technology, emphasising safety without compromising performance or sustainability. The pivotal scientific and technological challenges encompass the development of functional materials, the design of sustainable fabrication and recycling processes and the understanding of pertinent interfacial phenomena and degradation mechanisms. The project is committed to achieving the technical and economic benchmarks set by the 2030 European SET plan for Gen 3 LIB technologies while circumventing the reliance on Critical Raw Materials (CRMs).
