stellar project

STELLAR is a European Union-funded project focused on revolutionising lithium metal (LiM) anode production for next-generation batteries.

Know More

objectives

πŸ”‹01

Optimising the process for sustainable and highly efficient production of LiM foil.

This includes improving the thermal evaporation process for double-sided deposition of LiM on copper substrates and developing equipment for this production.

πŸ”‹02

Designing and engineering a protective coating to ensure the stability of LiM anodes,

during handling and manufacturing of Gen 4b/4c/5 cells.

πŸ”‹03

Developing stable a-SEI

(artificial solid electrolyte interphase) coatings on LiM to enhance cycle stability and reduce moisture sensitivity.

πŸ”‹04

Ensuring sustainability

through the development of a high-recovery system for LiM scrap and recycling at battery end-of-life.

πŸ”‹05

Demonstrating the first real-world EU-based LiM anode production pilot line

using roll-to-roll (R2R) physical vapour deposition (PVD) to achieve high production capacity at competitive costs.

πŸ”‹06

Implementing advanced, non-destructive inline monitoring techniques

for thickness and roughness to ensure quality control in the production process.

πŸ”‹07

Developing data-driven digital twins (DT)

to optimize the production process in real-time, enabling quick response times and integral process optimization.
