Batteries are a key technology to drive the green transition, support the shift to electrical mobility and contribute to climate neutrality by 2050. Indeed, graphite was listed by the EU among the 34 strategic Critical Raw Materials and it is crucial as anode material for making every type of battery, either Lithium-based or alkaline. Strategic actions are required to overcome the graphite supply dependence from China and make battery production more sustainable.

Optical trains exploited in the various applications using the high power continuous wave lasers suffer severely from the damages due to the extremely high and non-homogeneous energy density distribution. In present project, the possibility of exploiting novel Transition metal oxide functionalized materials and meta-structures to mitigate the breakdown phenomena in these components will be investigated.

Il progetto MULTICLIMACT mira a sviluppare un quadro integrato e uno strumento per supportare le parti interessate pubbliche e i cittadini a valutare la resilienza del sistema l’ambiente costruito e i suoi abitanti a più scale (edifici, aree urbane, territori) rispetto a fattori naturali e climatici di rilevanza locale rischi e catene di approvvigionamento, nonché supportarli nel migliorare la loro preparazione e reattività durante tutto il loro ciclo di vita.
