Project ECO COM’BAT
(supported by EIT RawMaterials)
- Upscaling of ORMOCER® coated NMC622 and lithium salt LiFSI to batch sizes of approx. 10 – 20 kg
- Porocarb® and Graphistrength® were applied to further increase the energy and power density
- Integration of ECO COM’BAT materials in pouch cells on a pilot level
- Improved performance in comparison to cells with industrial reference samples
