Drawing on unique Dutch expertise, the consortium will investigate and improve the heart of these highly coveted batteries – the electrode-electrolyte interface – using scalable technologies.
This is related to the Netherlands’ strong heritage as a hotspot for testing and validation of electric systems. The expertise and network accumulated at these centers are invaluable for boosting and scaling development of the next generations of batteries for a wide range of purposes.
On the 12 th of January a large number of parties involved in the development of batteries in the Netherlands – small companies, multinationals and knowledge institutes – attended the kick off of the BatteryNL consortium.
The Eindhoven researchers decided to take a different turn, and to always keep the final application in mind during the development process. They aimed to develop a heat battery for households, which stores excess renewable energy, for example generated by solar panels on sunny days, and use it to heat the tap water later on.
BatteryNL is aiming to develop the next generation of batteries that are safer, have higher energy densities and have a longer life-cycle – all of which are crucial for a society based on sustainable energy sources.
Unlike lithium solid-state batteries, solid-state batteries based on potassium and sodium silicates have a low TRL (Technology Readiness Level). This means there is still a long way to go from discovery in the lab to getting the technology out into society and making a difference.
The domestic need for a robust and affordable, self-reliant net-zero energy system, combined with our capabilities, a large international market and momentum, has boosted battery ambitions in the Netherlands. It led to the establishment of the Battery Competence Cluster NL in 2019.
