TNO opens test lab for next generation battery technology
13 May 2024 – Today, TNO’s Battery Lab at Holst Centre in Eindhoven was officially opened. Here, TNO experts research, develop and test next-generation battery technology together with companies. The aim is to prepare the technologies with and for companies for the next step to upscale towards mass production.
A battery cell is a complex electrochemical system with many possible materials and components. Any change in composition and construction affects the final performance of the battery. In the Netherlands, many companies are working on new battery technology, but it starts with a material or component of the battery cell. They often do not have the facilities to integrate those materials and components into a suitable cell design.
The facilities at the new Battery Lab provide an opportunity to make and test battery cells. New materials can then be integrated and optimized into different cell designs.
