Grant Description

The main mission for EPISODE is to develop a non-lithium battery technology based on abundant available low-cost materials, with attractive energy density and power metrics (close to that of LFP-based Li-ion batteries counterparts), that are durable (> 15-years and > 5,000 cycles), have a high round-trip efficiency (>95%), are non-toxic, non-critical, intrinsically safe and recyclable.

A further aspect of this mission is that the production processes for the anode, cathode, electrolyte solutions and binders as well as cell production will be sustainable, energy-efficient and demonstrated at industrial mass manufacturing scale.

Combining all of this leads to a non-lithium modular battery system with favourable CAPEX (< 150 €/kW storage capacity), OPEX (approx. 0.03 €/kWh/cycle) and carbon footprint (
