THE ECO-SMART BATT PROJECT WILL FOCUS ON IMPROVING THE ENERGY DENSITY, COST AND SUSTAINABILITY OF LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES THROUGH INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN SUSTAINABLE AND INTELLIGENT MANUFACTURING OF ADVANCED ACTIVE AND INACTIVE MATERIALS AND THEIR SYNERGISTIC COMBINATIONS FOR THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL, EXCEEDING ITS CURRENT LIMITS, FACILITATING THE EVOLUTION AND TRANSFORMATION OF THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY, DECARBONIZATION AND DRASTIC REDUCTION OF EMISSIONS. RESEARCH WILL BE CARRIED OUT ON THE MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS AND NANOCOMPOSITES SUCH AS MICRO AND NANO SILICON METAL, CELLULOSE NANO FIBERS AND ORGANOSILANES AND IONOGELS, TO CREATE A NEW GENERATION OF PRODUCTS FOR ANODES [ACTIVE MATERIALS, COMPOSITES, COATINGS, ELECTROLYTES (IONOGELS AND ADDITIVES), SEPARATORS (NANOPAPERS). LOOKING FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN EFFICIENCY, TRACEABILITY AND REPRODUCIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESSES OF THE DIFFERENT MATERIALS
