Fraunhofer ISC, Hydro-Québec Partner on Next-Generation Solid State Batteries

Examining lithium-ion and lithium-air battery materials for transportation electrification.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC and Hydro-Québec are teaming up to conduct research and development into next-generation lithium-ion and lithium-air battery materials to be used in transportation electrification.
 
The partnership will focus on inorganic solid electrolytes, especially glass-ceramic electrolytes. In addition to having excellent ionic conductivity, these materials are highly advantageous in terms of safety, thanks to their non-flammable nature.
 
“In joining forces with Hydro-Québec we are increasing the pace in developing a next-generation solid-state battery with doubled energy density. The impact of this new technology could be enormous – especially for electric mobility applications,” commented Dr. Alfred Gossner, Stellenbosch University professor and EVP of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft e.V.
