UltraDry – Unlocking the potential of sustainable and solvent-free fabrication of electrodes for Li-ion battery cells

Partners

The ULTRADRY project is lead by Dr. Tor Olav Sunde, a young and talented research scientist in the Thin Film and Membrane Technology (TFMT) research group at the Department of Sustainable Energy Technology in SINTEF, Oslo.
In addition to coordinating the project, The TFMT research group is responsible understanding and optimizing the dry processing route for battery electrodes. Dr. Sunde is supported by his colleagues Dr. Anita Hamar Reksten and Dr. Elena Stefan.
The Polymer and Composite Materials (PCM) research group at the Department of Materials and Nanotechnology in SINTEF, Oslo, is responsible for chemical engineering of the polymers in the dry processing route. This work is lead by Senior Research Scientist Dr. Erik Andreassen.
The Battery Technology (BT) research group at the Department of Sustainable Energy Technology in SINTEF, Trondheim has a key advisory role in the project. Senior Research Scientist Dr. Nils Peter Wagner is leading this effort.

The Laboratory of Energy Storage and Conversion at Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw Technical University (WUT), is responsible for developing new, low-F electrolyte salt additives and for electrochemical testing of battery cells. The work is lead by Prof. Marek Marcinek.

The Energy Systems Analytics group at the Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya (IREC) is responsible for techno-economical assessments and life-cycle analyses of the dry-processing technology being developed in the project. The work is lead by Dr. Víctor José Ferreira.
