Despite continuous progress in both nanomaterial synthesis and assembly, there is a gap in industrially relevant technologies to scale-up the manufacturing of advanced nanomaterial structures. Combining advances in nanotechnology with emulsion templating and high throughput microfluidic techniques can offer a paradigm shift in how complex materials are processed and structured from the bottom-up. The ERC Consolidator Grant MIGHTY has demonstrated that microfluidic droplet generators can produce nanoparticle super-structures with controlled morphologies for applications in energy storage. More precisely, this process allows optimisation of Li-Ion battery electrode composition, porosity, and packing, which improves energy density and rate performance of Li-Ion batteries.In this PoC Grant (HURRICANE) we seek additional support to scale up the particle manufacturing process to commercially relevant volumes, in order to translate the achieved performance benefits to commercial Li-ion battery electrode manufacture. This is particularly timely to support the EU's automotive industry as it transitions to electrical vehicles.

尽管在纳米材料合成和组装方面都取得了持续的进展，但工业相关的技术仍存在差距，以扩大高级纳米材料结构的生产。将纳米技术的进步与乳液模板和高吞吐量微流体技术相结合，可以在自下而上从自下而上处理和结构复杂的材料进行范式转移。 ERC合并赠款强大的强大证明，微流体液滴发生器可以生产具有用于在能量存储中应用的形态的纳米颗粒超结构。更准确地说，此过程允许优化锂离子电池电极组成，孔隙率和包装，从而提高了锂离子电池的能量密度和速率性能。在此POC赠款（飓风）中，我们寻求额外的支持，以扩大粒子制造过程以扩大商业上相关的量，以使所促成的性能将有效的液化型电极电极产生效益。这是尤其及时的，以支持欧盟的汽车行业，因为它过渡到电动车辆。
