NanoBat — Open Modeling Platform

NanoBat develops a nanotechnology toolbox for quality testing of Li-ion and beyond-lithium batteries. Targeted RF-nanoscale techniques are faster and more accurately calibrated than existing methods, reducing production costs and supporting clean-energy and e-mobility transitions.

• Develop four multi-scale RF instruments for off-line, in-line, and real-time measurements.
• Establish modeling and predictive analytics for SEI, including physics-based GHz models.
• Study advanced cell materials and demonstrate in small pilot lines.
• Scale-up with industry-driven specs and targets.

QWED contribution: coupled GHz–thermal simulation toolbox (WP3), large-area 2D scanner for resistivity/sheet impedance of graphene anodes (WP1), and industrial measurements of Li-ion anode materials (WP4).
