What if the batteries of the future were French?

Blue Solutions partners with CNRS, Collège de France, and Sorbonne University in the development of the next generation of solid-state batteries.

Blue Solutions is a pioneer in the design and development of solid-state batteries. With 12 years of large-scale solid-state battery production, the company takes a new step with this collaboration. A shared commitment to innovation and research for advanced energy solutions is essential for the transition to clean and sustainable energy. It will specifically focus on hybrid electrolytes, aiming to achieve better autonomy and enhanced safety.

A prestigious roundtable for Blue Solutions

“The roadmap for solid-state batteries anticipates a significant evolution of this technology, with maturation expected by 2032.” specifies Jean-Marie Tarascon, Professor at Collège de France holding the chair “Solid Chemistry and Energy” and 2022 CNRS gold medalist. This anticipation underscores the growing importance of solid-state batteries in the future energy landscape, offering improved performance in terms of energy density and safety. In this perspective, Blue Solutions, CNRS, Collège de France, and Sorbonne University unite their skills and resources to develop a hybrid electrolyte based on a polymer and an inorganic ionic conductor.”

“As Sorbonne University, we are proud to participate in collaborative initiatives such as this one, which illustrate a shared commitment to innovation and research for advanced solutions in the field of batteries, thus paving the way for significant advancements in sustainable energy.” emphasizes Christel Laberty-Robert, professor in materials science at Sorbonne University. 

“This collaboration marks a crucial step in realizing this vision, combining the technological expertise of Blue Solutions with the academic know-how of CNRS, Collège de France, Sorbonne University, and the teams of Professors Jean-Marie Tarascon and Christel Laberty-Robert. explains Marc Deschamps, Director of Research in Electrochemistry at Blue Solutions. We are working to push the boundaries of battery technology, creating more efficient, safer, and more sustainable solutions to meet future energy needs.”
