Publicly-funded research projects

How can production waste be efficiently reintegrated into cell manufacturing? In the RECLAIM project, production waste from battery cell manufacturing is efficiently processed and reused through delamination. This approach enables significant savings in costs and CO₂ emissions and strengthens local material cycles.

The »EXINOS2« project advances the technology readiness level of an innovative machine concept for the flexible and continuous stacking of battery cells. The aim is to optimize this critical stacking process in terms of flexibility, throughput, and footprint, and to test the system under real production conditions.

The aim of the IDEEL research project is to develop and scale up a laser-based drying process for the economical production of battery half cells based on solvent-based electrode slurries on an industrial scale.

ENLARGE is developing a universal standard for data and information exchange in battery cell production..

Discover how "DataBatt" optimizes battery production through digital integration – with an ontology-based data structure, automated processing, and standardized interfaces. Goal: Efficient, flexible, and transparent manufacturing processes.

Discover how a research consortium develops sodium-ion batteries using eco-friendly materials without lithium or cobalt — the goal: sustainable energy storage and technological sovereignty for Germany.

The "REVAMP" project offers a new approach to recycling used automotive batteries after their so-called "first life".

ProRec adapts mechanical-hydrometallurgical recycling processes to requirements of new materials.

The project pursues the goal of the Green Battery funding priority of establishing a sustainable and closed material cycle for battery materials over the entire life cycle and enabling recyclable battery cell production. Reliable quality assurance of battery cells plays a central role in this. X-ray-based computed tomography (CT) is used as a method for non-destructive material testing, precisely because of its ability to make internal structures visible in three dimensions.

Sodium instead of lithium – the “SIB:DE” project is looking into promising battery tech based on sodium ions and how it can be integrated into existing production lines. Learn more about the “SIB:DE” project here.
