Development of new materials technologies and energy storage systems for a green economy

Program Targeted Funding

The main objective is advancing technologies of cutting-edge materials for energy conversion and storage devices, utilizing local Kazakhstan raw materials. Emphasizing Strategy “Kazakhstan 2050,” it focuses on integrating and testing these materials in diverse energy storage systems for essential applications prioritizing energy security and a sustainable green economy. This includes exploring Kazakhstani raw materials and developing high-performance materials, particularly for creating and seamlessly integrating high-performance batteries into various energy storage devices. The research also aims to devise innovative techniques for assembling cells, modules, and batteries.
The program includes a comprehensive review and analysis of local raw materials like nickel, copper, manganese, aluminum, zinc, cobalt, sulfur, and polymers, with a focus on their potential for producing components of lithium, lithium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors. Subsequently, a technology for deep processing of these raw materials will be developed to obtain semi-finished battery materials. It involves development of battery components, including high-capacity electrodes, optimized gel and solid electrolytes, for various applications like electric vehicles, portable electronics, microelectronics, and stationary devices. Refining cell and module engineering and assembly is aimed to ensure seamless integration into different devices. The resulting innovative solutions hold significant promise for advancing sustainable and domestically-driven energy storage systems production.
