Solid INTERface Batteries - SINTER
Lead Participant:
JOHNSON MATTHEY PLC
Abstract
Project SINTER, Solid INTERface Lithium Ion Batteries, will investigate novel materials and processes to form
solid state batteries and optimise their interfaces. Partners Loughborough University and Johnson Matthey
Technology Centre will utilise a synergistic theoretical and experimental approach to investigate a range of Li
conducting glass-ceramic electrolyte materials and consequently the effect of dopants on the Li mobility, and
thus performance and thermal stability. Loughborough University will use computer modelling studies to study
static lattice simulations of project materials, MD and Ab initio methods to identify Li–ion transport
mechanisms across electrolyte bulk, surfaces and electrode–electrolyte interfaces and a combinatorial
approach to mapping the phase space to explore the transition from glassy to crystalline phases Johnson
Matthey will fabricate the novel electrolytes defined by modelling work and investigate various approaches to
integrate the solid electrolytes with different electrode materials, including assessement of feasibility of the
new materials for tape casting and 3D printing deposition methodologies.
