The European Battery Hub

This project is the continuation of the Battery Pilot Hub (MA4929), a pioneer initiative at ESRF designed to achieve large-scale synchrotron-based correlative characterization of battery materials (2021-24). The European Battery Hub is the demonstrator of this new community-driven approach, where we will develop, expand and deploy integrated workflows to resolve scientific challenges towards more sustainable battery technologies. We will focus on Na-ion Batteries and All Solid State Batteries, while ensuring transferability of methods to other systems. The Hub will provide a holistic understanding of reaction and degradation mechanisms by pushing the frontiers of time and space resolution thanks to the exceptional coherence and brilliance of the X-rays at ESRF. Six core beamlines are identified to realize the program (ID31, ID13, BM32, ID16b, ID20, ID26), where novel set-ups, sample environments, interoperable cells, common data handling protocols and pipelines will be developed.

本项目为电池试验枢纽（Battery Pilot Hub, MA4929）的延续项目，该枢纽是欧洲同步辐射光源（European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, ESRF）的一项开创性计划，旨在2021至2024年间开展基于同步辐射的电池材料大规模关联表征工作。欧洲电池枢纽（European Battery Hub）是这一新型社区驱动模式的示范项目，团队将开发、拓展并部署集成化工作流程，以攻克面向更可持续电池技术的相关科学难题。本项目将聚焦钠离子电池与全固态电池（All Solid State Batteries），同时确保相关研究方法可推广至其他电池体系。该枢纽借助ESRF同步辐射X射线卓越的相干性与亮度，突破时空分辨率的边界，实现对电池反应与降解机制的系统性全面认知。本项目已选定六条核心光束线（ID31、ID13、BM32、ID16b、ID20、ID26）以推进计划实施，将在这些光束线上开发新型实验装置、样品环境、可互操作电池测试单元以及通用数据处理协议与数据流水线。
