Batteries

Uppsala University has one of Sweden’s largest battery research centres and leads both the European battery research initiative Battery 2030+ and the national centre of excellence Batteries Sweden (BASE).

The research concerns all parts of a battery: reactions, materials and different types of batteries. There is a particular focus on Li-ion batteries but the research also covers solid-state batteries, sodium-based batteries and organic electrode materials. The University also participates in the national research centre for battery use in vehicles, Swedish Electromobility Centre.
