What is the GREENLION program?
A smartphone or a laptop that stays charged for twice as long, an electric vehicle with more stable performance and a longer lifespan... These conveniences may not be as far apart in time as we think.
Thanks to a new nanotechnology, the GREENLION has doubled the battery life of mobile devices and electric vehicles, even after the batteries have been charged and discharged more than 1,000 times. This was achieved by replacing graphite, which is used in lithium-ion batteries and has a low charge capacity, with an improved version of germanium with a higher capacity. The research team ensured that the technology is scalable, low-cost and low-energy, making it more “green” and commercially viable.
The coordinator of the program is Spain and partners from Ireland, Italy, Germany, Spain, Austria, Switzerland and France are participating.
