QUEEN Quantum Super-Exchange Energy Storage Platform

Coordinator: ISTANBUL TEKNIK UNIVERSITESI (TR)

Batteries are a major driving force behind EU’s goal to be climate neutral by 2050–with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. However, all batteries suffer from severe performance and safety challenges (fire and explosion) and fast-charging limitations due to two fundamental challenges:1) The complex and uncontrollable microscopic electron and ion interactions at dynamic interfaces; 2) The highly in-homogeneous electric field inside the battery cell that leads to chaotic carrier migration. In this project, I tackle these problems by developing a quantum super-exchange energy storage platform (QU…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €1.4M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2023-01-01 to 2027-12-31.
