In the OPINCHARGE Scientific Publications series, we highlight research that deepens the understanding of battery materials and their performance. This study focuses on a critical but often overlooked aspect of battery design — the role of geometry and mechanics in silicon anodes.This study explores a novel electrochemical approach to remove hydrofluoric acid (HF) impurities from…

The latest edition of the OPINCHARGE Newsletter (#5) presents recent progress across the project, with a strong focus on Open Science, research dissemination and collaboration within the European battery community.

The fifth webinar in the series “Time and Length-Scale Operando Bridging Techniques to Study Battery Interfaces” took place on 26 March 2026. The session brought together researchers interested in combining experimental techniques with computational modelling to better understand battery materials.

Join us online on 26 March 2026 at 15:00 CET for the next session of the Battery2030+ webinar series, exploring how computational modelling can help interpret experimental data and uncover hidden mechanisms in battery materials.

In the OPINCHARGE Scientific Publications series, we highlight research advancing the understanding and optimisation of battery materials and processes. This study explores a novel electrochemical approach to remove hydrofluoric acid (HF) impurities from carbonate-based lithium-ion battery electrolytes.

In the OPINCHARGE Scientific Publications series, we highlight research that advances the understanding of next-generation battery materials. This study focuses on an intriguing phenomenon observed in silicon nanoparticle anodes for lithium-ion batteries — slow voltage relaxation after battery cycling.

As part of the OPINCHARGE scientific publications series, we highlight recent research exploring how silicon nanowires could improve the performance of future lithium-ion batteries. The study uses advanced physics-based modelling to understand processes inside battery materials that are difficult to observe experimentally.

The latest webinar in the series “Time and Length-Scale Operando Bridging Techniques to Study Battery Interfaces” took place on 19 February 2026, bringing together researchers interested in advanced spectroscopic methods for understanding battery materials. The series is jointly organised by OPINCHARGE, OPERA and ULTRABAT within the Battery2030+ initiative.
