Consolidating the accumulated outcome of battery research and elemental technologies, and incorporating interdisciplinary knowledge, we promote a project research to accelerate the fundamental and basic research for practical use. Specifically, we do the R&D on leading candidates for the next-generation batteries such as an “all-solid state battery”, “Lithium-Sulfur battery with electrolyte cathode” and “advanced generation battery” including the multivalent ion battery.
In addition, we newly organize accelerating and promoting team for the practical use basically comprising a “special research unit for Li metal anode” and “analysis technology and base material technology”. Thus, we take up four team formation, and promote under this system.
The optimization group for the comprehensive battery system in each team has the responsibility and exercise leadership for the entire team working together, not only by materials research on such as the active material, the electrolyte and the separator, their mechanisms elucidation or the elemental technology, but also by making the maximum performance as a battery.
