HORIZON 2020 ALION Project Kick Off Meeting hosted by LEITAT

High Specific Energy Aluminium-ion Rechargeable Decentralised Electricity Generation Sources (ALION)

The overall objective of the ALION project is to develop aluminium-ion battery technology for energy storage applications in decentralised electricity generation sources. ALION pursues an integral approach comprising electroactive materials based on the «rocking chair» mechanism, robust ionic liquid-based electrolytes, as well as novel cell and battery concepts, ultimately resulting in a technology with much lower cost, improved performance, safety, and reliability compared to current energy storage solutions (e.g. Pumped hydro storage, Compressed air energy storage, Li-ion battery, Redox Flow Battery…).

The project covers the entire value chain, from materials and component manufacturers, battery assemblers, to technology validation in specific electric microgrid systems, including renewable energy sources (i.e. mini wind turbines, photovoltaic systems…). Thus, the final objective of this project is to obtain an Al-ion battery module validated in a relevant environment, with a specific energy of 400 Wh/kg, a voltage of 48V, and a cycle life of 3000 cycles.

The Project is funded by the European Commission with GA: 646286, led by LEITAT, and involves 13 partners from all across Europe.
