Inorganic Active Materials for Electrochemical Energy Storage

Research

Electrode materials are the "heart" of energy storage systems and determine their performance. They reversibly store and exchange the ions and electrons that power our smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles, and grid-scale energy storage technologies. Improved cathode and anode materials are key to developing batteries with higher performance and longer lifetimes.

The goal of the research group is to enhance the current generation of lithium-ion batteries while simultaneously developing next-generation battery technologies, such as sodium-ion, potassium-ion, and solid-state batteries. This is achieved through the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel electrode materials.

The research group is part of the Bavarian Center for Battery Technology (BayBatt), an outstanding interdisciplinary center dedicated to the development of future battery technologies. Its activities encompass research at all levels, ranging from the atomic scale and individual battery cells to complete battery systems, as well as education and professional training.
