Research group of Battery technologies

Batteries

• We develop materials, electrode structures and electrolytes for next generation batteries including advanced Li-ion, metal air and solid state technologies. 
• Our new battery laboratory and existing premises includes over 300 tests channels, special test set-ups for solid state battery research allowing us to gain better understanding of performance parameters and degradation occurring inside the battery cells. 
• Paired with excellent physicochemical characterization we become a lead player in the European battery R&D landscape.

Modeling

• We develop computational models of fuel cells, electrolyzers, and batteries to gain greater insight into the physical processes that drive performance gains in cells, packs/stacks, and systems. We use these models both to pursue research questions and to help industrial partners design products, and we are involved in developing open-source software for the scientific community as well.

World class, unique infrastructure financed by both INFRA and SINTEF

• SINTEF Battery lab
  380 m2 lab area including a 150m2 dry room with a dew point of -42.5 °C. The lab houses a complete pilot line for battery cell manufacturing; slurry mixing/rheology, slot die/knife coating, calendaring, vacuum ovens, pouch cell assembly and formation. The lab also includes 3 gloveboxes, climate chambers and over 300 channels (0-6V, 5Ah-60Ah) for testing small and large battery cells.

A project portfolio ranging from large competence building projects in the EU to industry projects with customers from all over the world enables us to build crucial competence and develop innovative solutions.
