With the UK's aim to ban combustion-engine sales by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the UK urgently needs highly innovative solutions to meet these targets. It also needs to maintain competitiveness in a global EV market expected to reach $68bn in 2022\. Project CONSTELLATION is aimed at improving the performance of EV battery cells, by bringing together the expertise of strategically important UK partners (Addionics, James Durrans, Centre for Process Innovation, Warwick Manufacturing Group) to improve the competitiveness of the UK battery supply chain and take technology already developed to TRL7, ready towards full commercialisation. Key objectives for this project include developing new verticals in cell manufacture through improvements to the manufacturing efficiency, performance and environmental profile of cells optimised for the automotive market. These will be achieved through improvements in novel current collectors designed by the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the formulation of customised electrodes in lithium-ion batteries using coating that can be robotically automated. New verticals will help reduce the time for scaling cell production resulting in lower costs for manufacturing and cost of ownership for the end-user. The project will utilise technology developed by Addionics for 3D current collector fabrication that has shown significant battery performance improvements. It will build on the earlier success of InnovateUK-funded project STELLAR to now take the work to TRL7\. Project CONSTELLATION will demonstrate minimal disruption to existing Gigafactories as it represents a 'drop-in' solution whereby affordable electrodes can be supplied to a variety of facilities. The output of the project will be commercialised directly in the UK and beyond.

由于英国的目标是在2030年禁止燃烧引擎销售并在2050年实现碳中立性，因此英国急需高度创新的解决方案来满足这些目标。它还需要在预期在2022年达到680亿美元的全球电动汽车市场中保持竞争力。项目星座旨在通过将具有战略意义的英国合作伙伴的专业知识（Addionics，James Durrans，Process Innovation，Warwick Manufacturing Group）汇集在一起​​，以提高英国电池供应链的竞争力，并将已经开发到TRL7的技术竞争力，从而改善了具有战略意义的英国合作伙伴（Addionics，James Durrans，Process Innovation，Warwick Manufacturing Group）的专业知识，旨在提高EV电池电池的性能。该项目的关键目标包括通过提高针对汽车市场优化的细胞的制造效率，性能和环境概况来开发细胞制造中的新垂直领域。这些将通过采用人工智能（AI）设计的新型当前收藏家以及可以使用机器人自动化的涂层在锂离子电池中的定制电极配方来实现。新的垂直行业将有助于减少扩展细胞生产的时间，从而降低最终用户的制造成本和拥有成本。该项目将利用Addionics开发的3D当前收藏家制造的技术，该技术已显示出明显的电池性能改进。它将建立在Innovateuk资助的Stellar的早期成功基础上，现在将工作带到TRL7 \。项目星座将证明对现有的GIGAFACTOIRES的干扰最小，因为它代表了一种“下水”解决方案，可以将负担得起的电极提供给各种设施。该项目的产出将直接在英国及其他地区进行商业化。
