R&D for Next-Generation Solid State Batteries
Partnership between Fraunhofer and Hydro-Québec
»In joining forces with Hydro-Québec we are increasing the pace in developing a next-generation solid-state battery with doubled energy density. The impact of this new technology could be enormous – especially for electric mobility applications,« commented Dr. Alfred Gossner, Stellenbosch University professor and Executive Vice President of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft e.V. the joint signature of the Memorandum of Understanding in Munich on the occasion of Québec’s official visit to Bavaria, Germany. Dr. Gerhard Sextl, Würzburg University professor and Director of Fraunhofer ISC, added the following: »Hydro-Québec is Québec’s most important energy supplier and one of the biggest producers of hydroelectricity and other renewable energies in the world. Hydro-Québec is a very powerful partner in developing trend-setting technologies for the storage and use of clean energy in transportation.«
»Fraunhofer is one of Europe’s most prestigious research institutions, and Fraunhofer ISC in particular has an impressive track record in the field of battery materials,« noted Karim Zaghib, Director – Energy Storage and Conservation at IREQ, Hydro-Québec’s research institute. »Like Hydro-Québec, it invests in research projects that look to meet specific, concrete needs. We are confident in this partnership’s potential to contribute to extending electric vehicle battery range.«
