Materials for Sustainable Sodium-Ion Capacitors

Materials for sUstainable Sodium Ion Capacitors responds to the need of a new supercapacitor technology that reaches energy density comparable to that of power batteries, but still recharges within few seconds and offers long cycle life with minimum efficiency loss over time. Moreover, MUSIC incorporates a strong policy of sustainability and environmental friendliness. Thus, any use of CRM will be avoided for the development of the SIC technology and will develop advanced novel carbonaceous electrode materials, binders and green electrolytes that are sustainable by design. Finally, the consortium will develop new manufacturing processes and industrial value chains by developing a new, transversal-to-other EES technologies, presodiation approach, which is low-cost and solution processable, enabling the industrialization of the technology. , MUSIC will fabricate SIC prototype cells and will develop a 12V module prototype that incorporates an innovative management system to monitor the SoC, SoH, SoP of individual cells.
