GREENLION is a Large Scale Collaborative Project within the FP7 leading to the manufacturing of greener and cheaper Li-Ion batteries for electric vehicle applications via the use of water soluble, fluorine-free, high thermally stable binders, which would eliminate the use of VOCs and reduce the cell assembly cost.
Objectives
- NEW MATERIALS
Development of new active and inactive battery materials viable for water processing
- INNOVATIVE ELECTRODE PROCESS
Innovative process leading to reduced electrode production cost and avoid environmental pollution
- NEW ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Development of new assembly procedures capable of substantially reduce the time and the cost of cell fabrication
- ECO-DESIGN BONDING TECHNIQUES
Lighter battery module with air cooling and easier disassembly through eco-designed bonding techniques
- AUTOMATED MODULE ASSEMBLY
Development of an automated module and battery pack assembly line for increased production output and reduced cost
- WASTE REDUCTION
Waste reduction, which by making use of the water solubility of the binder, allows for the extensive recovery of the active and inactive battery materials
