Empa – Materials for Energy Conversion Laboratory
Empa's Laboratory of Materials for Energy Conversion strives at solving industry-relevant challenges for sustainable energy conversion and storage technologies through materials and device innovation. Its researchers possess strong competences in the synthesis and processing of battery materials and their characterization and integration into battery cells. Within CircuBAT, the team is leading the subproject Cell Manufacturing, which focuses on developing alternative battery electrode manufacturing techniques with the goal of improving the environmental footprint of this energy-intensive step in battery cell manufacturing. [...]
Empa – Technology and Society Laboratory
Empa's Technology & Society Lab aims at creating and transferring knowledge for the transition to a more sustainable society. Its researchers analyze novel materials and emerging technologies with a focus on associated material and energy stocks and flows and evaluate them with regard to environmental constraints and societal needs. Within CircuBAT, the team is leading the subproject Material Recovery, which focuses on recovering highest quality, preferably "battery-grade" secondary raw materials from battery end-of-life treatment. Furthermore, the team is co-leading, [...]
BFH – Process Optimisation in Manufacturing
The BFH research group Process Optimisation in Manufacturing of the Institute for Intelligent Industrial Systems I3S consists of experts in mechanical, process, and electrical engineering, focusing on sustainable and cost-efficient production technologies. They have experience in battery design and manufacturing and produce test lithium-ion batteries on their own production line, which is available to research and industry to test innovative manufacturing processes or for the construction of test cells. The system also offers maximum flexibility in terms of the choice [...]
University of St. Gallen
The Institute for Economy and the Environment (IWÖ-HSG) at University of St. Gallen is dedicated to research and teaching management of renewable energies and climate solutions. The institute has an expertise in investigating social acceptance and business models for renewable energies and electric mobility. IWÖ-HSG co-leads the CircuBAT subproject 7 ‘Sustainable Business Model’. Their research focusses on the business dynamics of circular EV battery solutions. With simulation assessments of customer-business interactions, the insights support the business model development and strategy [...]
