Publicly-funded research projects

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

The FORWARD cooperation project, “Forecasting and Optimizing of Welding for Advanced Production of Battery Cells,” addresses the urgent need for intelligent and digitized battery cell manufacturing. The project focuses on the critical step of cell conductor welding in cell assembly.

How can battery charging times for stationary energy storage systems be significantly reduced? In the “SchnelleZelle” project, Fraunhofer FFB is working with partners from science and industry to improve the fast-charging capability of lithium-ion batteries.

How can the “time to market” in battery technology be sustainably shortened? In the KOOP project, we are developing a highly cooperative scaling process that promotes the systematic exchange of personnel, data and management between innovators and the Fraunhofer FFB. Our focus is on energy-efficient trajectory mixing and aqueous processing of hard carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries.

Learn more about how Fraunhofer FFB is driving the scaling and validation of an advanced structured calendaring system in the joint project. By developing new process and analysis technologies, it enables precise monitoring and control of the calendaring process at speeds of up to 25 m/min. The goal is to systematically optimize electrode quality and further process the structured electrodes into pouch cells to compare their electrochemical properties with conventionally manufactured cells.
