E-MAGIC (2019 - 2022)
Project title:
European Magnesium Interactive Battery Community
Project description:
E-MAGIC gathers the key scientific researchers in Europe to develop foundational approaches on rechargeable magnesium battery (RMB), bringing an effective work on R&D by a rational design of novel cathodes and electrolytes to overcome the rate-limiting reactions, and deliver a safe RMB with energy density of 450 Wh kg-1 at 100 €/Kwh.
The main objective of E-MAGIC will be to elaborate and develop a disruptive scientific and technical approach of the new generation of viable high energy density and environmental friendly (RMB). This will constitute a breakthrough in the development of novel battery materials and will have a disruptive impact on the battery market, providing in the long term (+10 years) an emerging technology in the field of energy storage.
The role of DTU Energy ASC in E-MAGIC is to develop a rational design of high voltage/high capacity cathode materials on the basis of computational approaches at different length scale to gain a better understanding of the rate-limiting reaction and transport processes that govern and limit the reversibility of the insertion and conversion Mg-based battery technologies.
