Project Summary

Objective
Design, characterise and scale next-generation separator and electrode materials.
Current status
Prototype v2 testing is complete with validated evidence; scale-up trials begin in Q3.
What changed Source Fact
  • Battery procurement delayed by 18 days
  • Partner site readiness pushed from 15 Sep to 24 Sep
  • Field trial remains due 30 Sep
  • Validation protocol has been approved
  • Prototype v2 testing completed
AI InferenceAI interpretation
The technical workstream remains healthy, but the current dependency chain materially increases delivery risk for the September field-trial milestone.
