ÅABC - A battery center at Ångström Laboratory

Today's and tomorrow's battery technologies for electric vehicles, large-scale energy storage, etc. - for the electrified future society.
Our research at ÅABC
Ångström Advanced Battery Centre (ÅABC) is the largest battery research group in the Nordic region. Five professors lead the activities and in total we are >100 teachers, researchers, postdocs and doctoral students. We lead a number of national initiatives and centres and have several ERC researchers.
Our research activities cover the entire value chain for different battery technologies but with a focus on battery cell materials – both active materials (cathode and anode) and all other materials needed (electrolytes, separators, binders, current conductors, etc.). The applications are primarily electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage.
Within ÅABC we work with all aspects of lithium-ion batteries, from detailed fundamental and more applied studies of established materials and cells to the development of groundbreaking new materials and concepts.
We are also very active in research and development of the next generation of batteries, especially sodium-ion batteries, lithium metal batteries, organic batteries and lithium sulfur batteries.
