HYLIST
HyLiST Project : Hybride Lithium Metal – based Scalable Solid-State Batteries
HORIZON-CL5-2023-D2-02-01 | Grant agreement ID: 101147688
January 2025 – December 2027
The HyLiST project aims to transform the European battery manufacturing sector by developing next-generation, cobalt-free Solid State Batteries (SSBs) that are cleaner, safer, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable. Over 36 months, the project will focus on creating high-capacity lithium-ion batteries for the aeronautic and automotive industries, using a hybrid solid electrolyte, a cobalt-free LNMO cathode, and an ultra-thin lithium metal anode.
Led by the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, HyLiST will pursue a three-phase strategy:
- Material development and upscaling
- Interface generation and cell assembly
- Digital design, recycling, and validation.
The initiative includes creating digital twins, battery passports, and assessing lifecycle and recyclability of battery components.
The project unites 13 partners from nine countries, including research institutions, universities, SMEs, and industry leaders. HyLiST’s innovative SSB architecture aims to match existing production processes while ensuring fast-charging, long-lasting, cost-effective, and eco-friendly batteries. Ultimately, it seeks to reduce Europe’s reliance on critical raw materials, enhance resilience and competitiveness, and align with the European Green Deal and Paris Agreement goals.
SPECIFIC POLYMERS Objectives
As a key contributor to the HyLiST project, SPECIFIC POLYMERS leverages its advanced expertise in polymer chemistry and single-ion conducting technologies to design and synthesize next-generation polymer electrolyte materials. These materials are engineered to deliver exceptional battery performance—featuring high ionic conductivity, superior electrochemical stability, and optimized safety—while also ensuring enhanced processability suitable for industrial-scale applications.
During the initial phase of the project, SPECIFIC POLYMERS will focus on the lab-scale development and screening of innovative polymer electrolytes, with the objective of identifying the most promising candidates for high-performance energy storage. Following this exploratory phase, the selected materials will be upscaled using proprietary synthesis, enabling their production in larger quantities for integration into pilot-line manufacturing of pouch cell batteries.
