Empa researcher Enea Svaluto-Ferro works together with the battery robot Aurora. The development time for new batteries should be greatly reduced in the future. Image: Empa Researchers want to accelerate the development of urgently needed new energy storage systems with the help of the Aurora battery robot. The Aurora project is part of the European research initiative Battery2030+, which was recently awarded over 150 million euros in funding by the EU. In addition, the project is part of the ETH Board's "Open Research Data" initiative, which promotes digitization and free access to research data. The world urgently needs new types of energy storage. Developing completely new concepts for batteries and exploring their potential is currently a lengthy process, as Corsin Battaglia, head of Empa's Materials for Energy Conversion laboratory in Dübendorf and professor at ETH Zurich, emphasizes: "Our goal is to accelerate this process," he says.
