Nextrode project could revolutionise the way electrodes for Li-ion electric vehicle (EV) batteries are manufactured.
Nextrode project could revolutionise the way electrodes for Li-ion electric vehicle (EV) batteries are manufactured.
Funded by The Faraday Institution, The University of Oxford will lead a consortium of five other university and six industry partners in the “Nextrode” project,to revolutionise the way electrodes for Li-ion batteries are manufactured.
By understanding how materials assemble as electrodes are cast, and developing new manufacturing tools, the consortium aims to usher in a new generation of smart, high performance electrodes, which could enable electric vehicles (EVs) with a longer range and batteries that are more durable.
The project’s Principal Investigator is Professor Patrick Grant, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research) at Oxford University, based at the University’s Department of Materials.
