Project

"ACABA: Advanced CAlcium BAtteries"

Lithium-ion batteries are currently the main electrochemical storage source in electronic devices and in the growing field of transportation. Lithium resources are however limited and the market’s explosion will increase the price of lithium batteries, making the search for alternatives mandatory. Despite calcium batteries have up to now been neglected, Calcium, owing to its availability, capacity, and redox potential, is a promising candidate provided innovative electrolytes and electrodes are invented.

ACABA (Advanced CAlcium BAtteries) will initiate this research towards pioneering Calcium batteries, in collaboration with Spanish and French laboratories. ACABA totally matches with the current concerns about better energy managements. The research in post-lithium batteries is about to receive a worldwide tremendous focus, ACABA targeting to initiate this trend for calcium batteries. ACABA is very ambitious with high risk-level, as a huge effort is required for battery components; but it also offers a high-impact research with important scientific as well as technological production.

CV

Jean-Yves Sanchez academic route is characterized by a dual mobility: scientific (physical chemistry, polymers, electrochemistry) and geographical (Montpellier-Algiers-Grenoble-Madrid). After obtaining his PhD (Montpellier-1972), in Physical Organic Chemistry and fulfilling his military obligations, he got a post-doc (09/1973-03/1975) at ‘Institut Européen des Membranes’ where he performed pioneering researches on electron and electron/ion conducting polymers. Then, he was sent by French Foreign Office at Algiers University 1975-1986 where, despite harsh conditions, he co-created a polymer lab and obtained a ‘Doctorat es-sciences (1981). Joining, as Associate Professor, Grenoble INP in 1984, he created and headed (from 1997) ELSA-LEPMI (~ 24 researchers). He became Full Professor PR2 (1995). National Council promoted him PR1 (2002) PRCE1 (2009) and PRCE2 (highest position, 2014). He co-authored of 140 publications (4 in press) 75% Q1, filed 45 International Patents and supervised 30 PhD (3 awarded). In the frame of researches, dedicated to electrochemical sources, he led 3 EU projects and a ten of National/Regional ones.
