Batteries are one of the promising solutions to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels. However, the existing battery technologies still face several hurdles, such as limited cycle life, insufficient energy density, safety, availability of the required raw materials and above all the prices. To overcome these hurdles and to keep the Flemish region at the forefront, research projects for battery materials (FuGels, LifeSBat) are initiated with support from SIM.
