1.5v Alkaline battery.Seven European countries cooperate to invest 8 million euros in the research and development of power battery technology

　　According to foreign media reports, researchers at the University of Limerick in Ireland are leading an EU project (Si-DRIVE) worth 8 million euros (approximately 62.52 million yuan), aiming to provide higher performance electric vehicles. R&D battery technology for automobiles (EV).

　　Although the market share of electric vehicles is gradually increasing, its current share of the European market is still less than 2%. Relevant European policies require that the market share of electric vehicles needs to increase to 40% by 2030. If this goal is to be achieved, battery technology must be improved to increase the range of electric vehicles and shorten the charging time of electric vehicles.

　　Professor Kevin M. Ryan, head of the Si-DRIVE project at the Bernal Institute of the University of Limerick, said that the University of Limerick (UL) plans to completely improve lithium-ion batteries to solve the main obstacles affecting the popularity of electric vehicles. Such obstacles are related to electric vehicles. A car's range, cost and charging time are closely related.

　　The project will use innovative anode, cathode and electrolyte materials with a focus on battery system sustainability, with the goal of removing rare and valuable materials such as cobalt. In addition, the University of Limerick team will also focus on developing high-performance silicon-based anode materials, developing lightweight anodes composed of rich elements, and ultimately reducing the total weight of the battery.

　　Dr. Hugh Geaney, a researcher on the project, said that the Si-DRIVE project will bring together top experts from across Europe to provide sustainable and cost-effective battery technology for environmentally friendly electric vehicles.

　　The Si-DRIVE consortium consists of 16 academic and industrial partners from 7 European countries. The project will create battery prototypes using optimized anode, cathode and electrolyte materials to compare performance with existing state-of-the-art electric vehicle batteries.
