The NWO and BCC-NL are funding three TU Delft projects with nearly €14.5 million aimed at advancing sustainable battery systems, essential for energy transition and green energy storage. The projects address the recycling of lithium-ion batteries and the development of sodium-ion batteries to reduce reliance on critical materials.

The ADAPT-BATT project focuses on selectively recovering pure metals from mixed battery waste using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry. Additionally, researchers will explore material innovations for sodium-ion batteries to enhance circularity. Collaboration with TNO and industry partners aims to create new batteries for efficient energy storage, supporting the Dutch battery sector and meeting EU regulations.
