This is because lithium-ion batteries are a key component of the energy transition. However, the aviation sector imposes particularly stringent requirements in terms of energy density, safety and weight.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Conventional cell production relies on solvent-based wet coating, which involves long drying times and high energy consumption. ELEVATE, on the other hand, relies on a virtually solvent-free dry mixing process and controlled in-situ polymerisation of the electrolyte. The latter is a process in which a solution is injected directly into the battery cell and is only converted into a solid or gel-like electrolyte inside the fully assembled cell.<\/p>\n<h3>The advantages:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Unlike pre-fabricated solid-state cells (ex-situ), the interfacial resistance between the electrolyte and the electrode is significantly reduced, as the electrolyte now adheres perfectly to the surface of the electrode at a microscopic level.<\/li>\n<li>The solvent-free dry coating eliminates a large part of the energy-intensive drying process, which is a key factor in reducing production costs and the carbon footprint whilst increasing process stability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Aviation cells from the Braunschweig Battery Hub<\/h3>\n<p>The work carried out at TU Braunschweig is based at the Battery LabFactory Braunschweig (BLB) research centre and within the regional consortium BLB+, Braunschweig Labfactories for Batteries and more, which has for many years provided an internationally recognised infrastructure for industry-oriented battery research.<\/p>\n<p>The BLB brings together large-scale pilot plants for cell production, dry rooms and closed-loop systems, and covers the entire value chain from material and electrode development through cell manufacturing to recycling \u2013 a setting unique in Germany in which new manufacturing processes, such as dry coating, can be demonstrated under industry-relevant conditions. The infrastructure established as part of the BLB and the close collaboration between universities, Fraunhofer Institutes and industry partners contribute directly to the development of a sustainable, competitive battery value chain in Germany and Europe.<\/p>\n<h3>Strong European consortium<\/h3>\n<p>ELEVATE (\u201cElectrified Aviation with Dry-Coated Electrodes for High-Energy Solid-State Batteries\u201d) is coordinated by UniverCell Holding GmbH (Germany) and brings together 12 partners from six countries: In addition to TU Braunschweig, these include industrial companies such as LEONHARD KURZ, Daikin Chemical Europe, OCSiAl Europe and OCSiAl Balkan, EurA AG, Addionics, Vaeridion and IKA Werke, as well as research facilities such as Uppsala University and FUNDACI\u00d3N CIDETEC. The consortium combines process and materials development, cell and system design, and aerospace applications, and explicitly targets premium segments such as regional commuter aircraft, drones and space platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The project (duration: 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2029) is funded by the European Commission under the HORIZON programme (HORIZON-CL5-2026-01-D2-04, Project 101318954).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of the ELEVATE project, a research team at &#8230;
