Development of new electrochemical power storage: accumulators

Project was focused on the research on the field of Na-ion and Li-S batteries and also aimed to deepen the collaboration in these areas with INL Braga, Portugal and Dr. Lifeng Liu’s group. The project was carried out as a 4-years project and during the duration of the project, its members spend in total more than 33 months on internship at INL Braga. Several publications in the field of Na-ion and Li-S batteries have been published within the project and the results have been presented at several international conferences.
The project was carried out in the period from 31.3.2019 to 31.12.2022. The project was carried out in cooperation with the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) Braga Portugal, which made its laboratories and equipment available to the BUT staff. The project focused mainly on the study of materials and optimization of electrodes for Li-S and Na-ion batteries, as well as on the testing of electrolytes. In total, within the project, 6 impacted publications were published, 7 non-impacted publications listed in the Scopus database and the project participants attended 9 international conferences. For example, within the project, anode materials for Na-ion batteries based on Na2Ti3O7 (NTO) were tested, the synthesis was also carried out at Brno University of Technology. At the same time, within the project, MOF-based materials were tested for cathodes of Li-S batteries (10.1016/j.est.2019.101113, 10.1016/j.est.2022.104419, 10.1039/d2ra03301a) and Na-ion batteries (10.1016/j.matchemphys.2021.125584). Li-S battery research has also tested the effect of different types of binders in electrode fabrication, including in a laboratory pouch cell format (10.3390/ma14195578). The outputs of this project have been followed up in newly supported projects such as OP JAK Eco&Store or in the TAČR project Advanced materials for lithium and post-lithium battery electrolytes (EllyteMat).
