ABOUT SUBLIME
Sulfide electrolyte solid-state batteries for EV applications
Wide global deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) is necessary to reduce transport related emissions, as transport is responsible for around a quarter of EU greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and more than two thirds of transport-related GHG emissions are from road transport.
SUBLIME’s overall aim is to significantly increase EV adoption by taking on the technical challenges that are presented by the consumer needs – especially the reduction in costs of EVs, increasing their capabilities regarding long distance traveling and fast charging.
NEWS
Reducing computational efforts for modelling kinetic properties of materials is a never-ending effort.
We want to keep you informed about ongoing tasks and report on major breakthroughs during the project.
Thanks to the modelling expertise at CIC, Li metal protective layers could be investigated for use in #sulfide-electrolyte based cells
