This call aims to develop advanced battery materials suitable for long-duration energy storage applications ranging from 10 hours to seasonal storage, contributing to the renewable energy targets set by RePowerEU. Projects should focus on battery technologies that minimize the use of critical raw materials, offering viable alternatives to current state-of-the-art solutions in terms of cost, efficiency, safety, lifetime, and environmental sustainability. The developed batteries should meet specific performance criteria, including system cost per unit of energy, projected lifetime, round-trip efficiency, and scalability for large-scale deployment. The scope is technology-neutral but excludes lithium-ion, vanadium-based redox flow, sodium-ion, molten sodium-sulphur, and other commercialized technologies. Projects are encouraged to use computational models or artificial intelligence methods for materials discovery and cell design and should include preliminary plans for scalability and commercialization.
