Center for Swedish Batteries An Alliance for Ultrahigh Performance Batteries (SweBAL)

Important results from the project

BASE has successfully established a center of high-level research and education. The academic contribution is strong with world-leading PIs and excellent publications. Through work within the seventeen projects, new knowledge and new results have contributed to progress within BASE´s thematic areas. The collaboration between BASE partners is successful with a broad network of contacts and joint activities. BASE has enabled the Swedish battery research community to work more coherently.

Expected long term effects

Results achieved within BASE have potential to create long-term effects in future battery technology. The strong research and education environment shapes the next generation of experts in battery technology, which strengthens Sweden´s competitiveness globally. The collaboration between academia and industry promotes innovation and technological development, which can lead to improved battery performance and sustainable energy solutions. This strong community can inspire similar initiatives.

Approach and implementation

The center has, with three academic partners, one research institute and 16+ industrial partners, carried out activities despite COVID-19. Timetable, budgets and results have been achieved. BASE has also, with its stable partners, completed the plans despite changes in the battery field. Seventeen projects in new cell concepts, smart battery cells, modeling and characterization as well as gender equality, education and sustainability have been successful in knowledge building and collaboration. BASE phase 2, years 6-10, is identified as Vinnova no 2024-03853
