A sustainable energy infrastructure needs a holistic approach in generation, storage, and delivery. Lithium-ion batteries dominate the market but rely on scarce materials. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as eco-friendly alternatives. The GENSIB project enhances SIB technology, improving performance and economic feasibility, and reducing environmental impact. This will be achieved by a unique combination of theoretical methods, material science and spectroscopy.
This project formalizes the Swiss contribution to the M-Era.net consortium GENSIB, where ABB Switzerland is involved as a further Swiss partner, contributing to this project with its own resources.
