In a recent study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers from the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry at TUM present a novel operando X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) setup to investigate the electrochemical stability of composite cathodes in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). The team examined the interface between a Ni-rich layered oxide… [read more]

In a recent study published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, an international research team investigates sodium-ion diffusion in NASICON-based solid-state electrolytes — promising candidates for next-generation solid-state batteries. Using quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), the researchers identify two distinct Na⁺ diffusion… [read more]

In a recent publication in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society, the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry at TUM presents a systematic investigation of lithium diffusion in highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Based on time- and temperature-dependent measurements, the researchers determined the diffusion coefficient of the LiC₆ phase and showed that the… [read more]

A new publication from the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry at TUM in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society focuses on investigating hysteresis effects in silicon anodes compared to graphite. The study specifically analyzes behavior under open-circuit voltage (OCV) conditions, highlighting the significant differences between silicon and graphite and how these… [read more]

On 24 and 25 March, the tenth edition of the Munich Battery Discussion took place in Garching - a now well-established conference for the exchange between science and industry in the field of battery technology. Under the motto "Advancing Materials and Production Strategies for Next-Generation Automotive Batteries," around 240 participants from research institutions… [read more]

This research investigates the long-term aging behavior of lithium-ion battery cells from the VW ID.3 under realistic usage scenarios and accelerated test conditions. The objective is to identify the dominant degradation effects at the cell level and compare them with the aging behavior of a comparable battery pack in a test vehicle under real-world field… [read more]
