IBU-tec advanced materials AG will participate in three publicly funded research projects for the advancement of innovative battery materials. The objective of the funded projects is to develop new battery materials for e-mobility as well as for stationary and further industry-relevant applications. In this way, the IBU-tec Group leverages its strong market position as well as its know-how in the field of battery materials to develop new combinations of materials and applications. As a result of the participation in the research group, IBU-tec will also expedite the development of own battery products. The partners of the research projects are, amongst others, the renowned Fraunhofer Society, the Technical University of Braunschweig as well as some well-known industrial companies from the automotive industry, for instance. With this strong group of partners the core areas of the value chain in battery production are covered. Following a successful evaluation of the outline proposal, the funding application has already been submitted and the project implementation will probably start during the 2nd half of 2021. The funding projects are entitled: "Battery materials for future electromobility, stationary, and other industry-relevant applications (Battery 2020 Transfer)" and are part of the framework programme: "From Material to Innovation". In two projects IBU-tec focuses on the technical advancement of solid-state batteries. In a third funding project IBU-tec deals with new technologies for a resource-friendly and CO2-saving production of cathodes. In this way IBU-tec participates actively in the development of next-generation batteries and hence clearly expands its innovation basis.
