Consortium

Consortium

HIPERZAB is composed by the close collaboration of a multidisciplinary and highly research-experienced consortium of 6 partners that belong both to European and non European countries and covers the whole value chain from basic knowledge to prototype development and testing; from materials development to component processing, assembly, and battery fabrication.

CIC energiGUNE

CIC energiGUNE

CIC energiGUNE is an energy storage research center specialized in electrochemical storage (batteries and supercapacitors), thermal energy solutions and hydrogen technologies that aims to generate disruptive scientific knowledge in materials and technological solutions related to energy, and contributing to improve industry competitiveness and sustainable development.

Within the project, CIC energiGUNE takes the coordination of HIPERZAB and the development and integration of metal-air batteries. CIC energiGUNE also participates in the manufacturing of small cells of 1 Ah and gives its support in the initial testing of the cells/modules to verify the conformity.

SINTEF

SINTEF

SINTEF is one of Europe´s largest research institutes, with multidisciplinary expertise in technology, natural sciences and social sciences. It is an independent foundation that since 1950 has created innovation through research and development assignments for business and the public sector in Norway and abroad. 

Within the project, SINTEF leads the 3D- structured composite anode development. This involves not only analysing the different materials but also performing SEM-EDS and XRD analysis as well as Hg-intrusion porosimetry (MIP) to quantify electrode porosity and pore size distribution. In addition, SINTEF integrates the biopolymer matrix, characterises and test the final 3D Zn/biopolymer composite anode.
