"The solid-state battery roadmap foresees a significant evolution of this technology, with maturation expected by 2032. This anticipation underlines the growing importance of solid-state batteries in the future energy landscape, offering improved performance in terms of energy density and safety. With this in mind, Blue Solutions, the CNRS, the Collège de France and Sorbonne University are pooling their skills and resources to develop a hybrid electrolyte based on a polymer and an inorganic ionic conductor," explains Jean-Marie Tarascon, Professor at the Collège de France and holder of the "Solid State Chemistry and Energy" chair, and 2022 CNRS Gold Medalist.
"As Sorbonne University, we are proud to participate in collaborative initiatives such as this one, which illustrate a shared commitment to innovation and research into advanced battery solutions, paving the way for significant advances in sustainable energy," emphasizes Christel Laberty-Robert, Professor of Materials Science at Sorbonne University.
"This collaboration marks a crucial step towards realizing this vision, combining Blue Solutions' technological expertise with the academic know-how of the CNRS, Collège de France, Sorbonne University and the teams of Professors Jean- Marie Tarascon and Christel Laberty-Robert. Together, we're working to push back the frontiers of battery technology, creating higher-performance, safer and more sustainable solutions to meet the energy needs of the future," explains Marc Deschamps, Director of Electrochemistry Research at Blue Solutions.
