The Hidden Project

The HIDDEN Project

The HIDDEN consortium develops materials and their processes to functional battery layers as scalable, industry compatible, manufacturing technologies enabling sustainable energy storage technology with longer battery lifetime and higher energy storage capacity for more efficient utilization for sustainable, carbon free energy production technologies.

Our Aims:

  • To develop novel self-healing thermotropic liquid crystalline electrolytes and piezoelectric separator technologies
  • To investigate both technologies with protective additives
  • To apply multiscale modelling means for electrolyte design and analysis algorithm to monitor the dendrite growth

Technologies will be upscaled from laboratory to industrial manufacturing processes, tested and finally demonstrated by assembling battery cells with battery layers and the temperature control system.
