#ESS2202: Solid state battery production systems, review and analysis of existing processes and inventory

PhD Candidate: Sina Orangi, Nelson Manjong

---

Overview: Solid-state battery shows outstanding advantages for the next generation of battery technology with higher energy density at lower cost of production comparing with the current state-of-the-art lithium-ion technology. Since this sort of battery technology is still at the development stage, there does not exist a general valid process chain. Driven by this, the process chain for solid-state technology can be formed by different possible process alternatives. More importantly, a successful outcome of the current project bases a solidstate battery production model to demonstrate the material and energy flow is an essential base for life cycle assessments (LCA).

Goals and tasks: We are seeking candidates with strong interest in battery industry. This project mainly aims to collect data from recent relevant publications and reports in order to classify the possible process chains and material. The following tasks are part of the summer project:

• Investigation for the possible (or available) solid-state battery production models in the recent publications and relevant reports
• Presenting an explicit classifications of the collected data through a final report.
• Presenting the results for a poster.

---

Desired skills and characteristics:

• Highly motivated in battery industry
• Ability to work and think independently and in group
• Background in modelling of production models
• Excellent written and oral English language skills
