The ORANGEES project (ORgANics for Green Electrochemical Energy Storage) focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and validation of innovative, eco-friendly, and low-cost materials for use in electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems, such as batteries and supercapacitors. The project explores both hybrid (organic/inorganic) and fully organic materials, with particular attention to compounds derived from waste sources (e.g., biomass), aiming to progressively enhance the environmental sustainability of storage technologies over the medium-to-long term. At its core, ORANGEES investigates the potential of various classes of organic compounds as substitutes for key components currently used in EES systems — including active materials, binders, and electrolytes. By combining the wide-ranging expertise of its project partners, the initiative significantly expands the experimental scope across multiple families of organic compounds, application areas, and storage technologies. A key strength of ORANGEES lies in its broad scouting activities, targeting underexplored material classes for EES applications, alongside the complementary industrial expertise within the consortium. In particular, the project investigates surface treatment techniques for internal EES components, with the potential to improve production processes and device performance. Together, these efforts aim to drive innovation, sustainability, and future business opportunities in emerging market sectors. https://www.orangees.it
