VUB research group leads the charge towards the next generation of batteries with BAT4EVER project 

The MOBI research group at VUB is turning game changing self-healing batteries into reality, making these vital components lighter, more durable and circular by reducing their dependency on critical raw materials.  

The ground-breaking BAT4EVER project, funded by the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 Programme, is one of several projects aiming to embed self-healing funcionalities into batteries under the Battery2030+ initiative.

The research team has focussed on reducing the volume of graphite and replacing it with silicon, which is abundant in the earth’s crust. ...
