'Team points' are awarded according to the adequacy of the solution with the type of innovations sought by Team for the Planet. They correspond to the analysis of several factors :
Submitted for assessment : After checking that an innovation is within the scope of the 20 issues Team for the Planet targets and that it has reached a sufficient maturity, the innovation is being assessed.
Powerful cells made from cheap, abundant and environmentally friendly materials.
Li-ion battery technology has reached 87% of its commercially achievable cell limit for energy density; acquiring the remaining 13% will be costly and slow with limited returns on investments. The fundamental limitation is at the electrode level and cannot change unless electrodes are re-engineered.
HIPERSSYS is developing advanced hybrid nanostructured electrode architectures that enable the fabrication of Li-ion batteries with theoretical specific energies that are five times higher than that of today’s commercial batteries.
Consumer electronics devices, electric vehicles, grid scale energy storage, as well as aviation, aeronautical and defense. Our potential clients are businesses that integrate Li-ion batteries in their products, such as Group Renault, HP, Proinso, etc
HIPERSSYS provides metal-free, Silicon-Sulfur, Li-ion battery, and is free of binders and additives. While commercial batteries include binders and additives which add a dead weight (15-20%) to the battery. HIPERSSYS has a novel technique for the fabrication of Li-ion battery electrodes based on the bottom-up hierarchical nano-structuration principle.
