Polioxometalatos: explorando elétrodos ecológicos para baterias ião sódio

The POMCELL main goal is the development of environmentally friendly Na-ion coin cells based on novel POM electrodes. Efficient electrode materials are the key to successfully implementing more reliable energy storage technologies, such as SIBs. The preparation of the materials must be simple, flexible, scalable and cost-effective, allowing fine tuning of the surface properties to fulfil the requirements of electrodes for enhanced electrochemical response. Aligned with the primary goal of POMCELL several scientific, technical, and strategic objectives have been identified to transform our vision into tangible results: 1. Scientific objectives: Sci. 1 - To design and prepare POMs, MOFs, doped-carbon materials and their composites with potential application as electrode materials in SIBs. Sci. 2 - To elucidate how their structure and composition affect their electrochemical performance and stability over a wide range of potentials Sci. 3 - To evaluate the novel materials evaluation on a half-cell environment, considering the interactions of each electrode (cathode or anode) separately, with the materials employed within the cell (e.g. electrolyte and separator). 2. Technical objectives: Tec. 1 - To demonstrate the assembly and operational stability of the prototype coin cell Tec. 2 - To deliver unambiguous assessment of the technological and economic viability of this new technology 3. Strategic objectives: Str. 1 - To ensure the efficient management of the POMCELL project in line with the work plan (includes: budget planning, tracking time schedules for each task within the proposed timeline, reorganization/restructuring of tasks in case of possible contingencies, elaboration of progress and final reports) Str. 2 - To create and protect new intellectual property rights Str. 3 - To identify external stakeholders for exploitation of the project results Str. 4 - To establish a network of experts who can contribute to the research, innovation and exploitation activities needed to maximize the impact of the project. Str. 5 - To formulate a plan for market-entry for the POMCELL battery that is not dependent on critical raw materials. This plan will include scaling up of production and certification and compliance with relevant regulations
