Three projects Project name Project leader Project participants Description Research towards Nordic industrialization of The-Salt-and-Paper Battery Uppsala University Holding VTT, FMC Biopolymer, ETC Batteries and Fuel cells AB, FOV Favrics AB, Will carry out the research and development necessary for forming the foundation for future commercialisation of a new type of paper-based, environmentally friendly supercapacitors and batteries. Nano Coatings for Solid Oxide Fuels Cells Chalmers University Univ. of Oslo, Topsoe Fuel Cells, Sandvik Materials Technology AB Will investigate the use of nanocoatings to prevent these degradation mechanisms. E.g. by the application of thin films of cerium the corrosion rates of the material can be reduced substantially. TOPNANO YKI Saab Aerosystems, KTH, AkzoNobel, MW Innovation, Nibe, ReTurn AS, Sapa Heat Transfer AB, Vattenfall, Vestas, VTT, Aarhus Univ. Will develop sustainable and efficient methods based on nanotechnology to reduce problems and costs with ice build-up. The fourth project is in the evaluation process.
