STELLAR is a European Union-funded project focused on revolutionising lithium metal (LiM) anode production for next-generation batteries.
This includes improving the thermal evaporation process for double-sided deposition of LiM on copper substrates and developing equipment for this production.
during handling and manufacturing of Gen 4b/4c/5 cells.
(artificial solid electrolyte interphase) coatings on LiM to enhance cycle stability and reduce moisture sensitivity.
through the development of a high-recovery system for LiM scrap and recycling at battery end-of-life.
using roll-to-roll (R2R) physical vapour deposition (PVD) to achieve high production capacity at competitive costs.
for thickness and roughness to ensure quality control in the production process.
to optimize the production process in real-time, enabling quick response times and integral process optimization.
