Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-01171, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Marin, Gheorghe (Cégep de Trois-Rivières), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Quebec|Québec, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Applied Research and Development Grants (<$75k), program name french : Subventions de recherche et développement appliquée (<75,000 $), program purpose english : The scientific objective of the project is to develop the synthesis of alkali metals and silicon monoxide by_x000D_
metallothermic reduction method. These high energy density materials will be used for the fabrication of new_x000D_
generation of rechargeable battery anodes. The project provides for collaboration of two regional research_x000D_
centers, the Laboratoire des technologies de l'énergie (LTE) of Hydro-Québec in Shawinigan and the Centre de_x000D_
métallurgie du Québec (CMQ) of Cégep de Trois-Rivières for the development of a high-temperature reactor._x000D_
The materials studied will be, firstly, magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) for the furnace commissioning; and_x000D_
then, silicon monoxide (SiO) and lithium (Li) for battery materials synthesis tests. HQ will use new anode_x000D_
materials for the development of new electrochemical storage systems. The CMQ is interested in metallurgy of_x000D_
light alloys and wishes to increase its expertise in the manufacturing domain thereof. The project will include_x000D_
three students, one per year. Expected outcome is to develop two processes one for lithium and one for silicon_x000D_
monoxide ready for a pilot plant scale. Project finality is the development of high energy density batteries_x000D_
which is the key to transport electrification leading to greenhouse emission reduction., program purpose french : The scientific objective of the project is to develop the synthesis of alkali metals and silicon monoxide by_x000D_
