The European battery industry is under increasing pressure to improve the economic and environmental sustainability of the manufacturing supply chain. Existing technologies such as Li-ion batteries (LIB) rely on critical elements with low earth abundance, are produced via environmentally unfriendly processes and are difficult to recycle. New metrology is urgently required to support the transition to more sustainable battery chemistries and low carbon footprint manufacturing processes. This project aims to develop a new hybrid metrology platform bringing together a combination of traceable analytical techniques for both ex situ and operando characterization of battery materials, to enable innovation in next generation energy storage technologies.
