OREOBATT Project – “Organic Electroactive Materials as Electrodes for Next-Generation Batteries” is a FCT – Exploratory Project.
A team of researchers from C2TN, led by Sandra Rabaça, in collaboration with CeFEMa, where the project is coordinated by Diogo Santos, is developing a new generation of organic electroactive materials (OEMs) for high-performance, low-cost batteries. The project focuses on the synthesis and optimization of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives as organic electrodes, which hold the potential to be a more sustainable alternative to the inorganic materials currently used.
With environmental advantages and large-scale processing capabilities, OEMs have the potential to revolutionize the battery market, particularly when combined with aqueous electrolytes, which offer greater safety, lower costs, and faster charge-discharge capabilities. This research aims to contribute to the European Union’s energy technology goals, specifically in the development of more efficient energy storage solutions for electric mobility.
The project strengthens Portugal’s commitment to technological innovation and energy sustainability, providing a significant contribution to the future of energy storage.
