The projects ProFeLi and InnoCase will start in February 2019. Both projects will be funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. ProFeLi deals with the production technology to fabricate solid state batteries with lithium metal anodes.In the three-year project InnoCase, a consortium of industrial partners together with research institutes at the Technical University of Munich and…

At this year's Battery Forum, the Poster Prize went to the Technische Universität München. Robert Morasch from the Department of Technical Electrochemistry won the prize over € 1,000 for his contribution Detection of Binder Migration using Impedance Spectroscopy and its Influence on the Tortuosity of Li_Ion Battery Electrodes.  In addition, numerous other research and project results were…

This week the Battery Forum takes place in Berlin for the 7th time. The event is organised by the competence network lithium-ion batteries (KLiB), which is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The forum provides an excellent platform for exchange between politicians, researchers and actors from industry. Partners of TUM battery research will als be there to present…

Can additive manufacturing reduce green hydrogen production costs? How to optimally utilize green hydrogen in chemical processes? Two new PhD candidates at APT have started working these questions in late 2021.

We used the soluble hydrogenase to recycle the oxidized cofactor NAD+ and drive the synthesis of keto acids form sugars. This highly oxidative biocatalytic pathway was performed without oxygen. This circumvented the need of bringing oxygen into aqueous systems, which is very challenging. Only green hydrogen was produced with no carbon based by-products. A manuscript is under preparation.

In the course of the energy transition, power-to- methane is a promising storage technology for ensuring an on-demand energy supply. The microbiological conversion of hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to methane (CH4) under anaerobic conditions by hydrogenotrophic methanogenic archaea is well-known as a sub-process from biogas plants or digesters at wastewater treatment plants and is much…

In a new publication at the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry the effect of catalyst conductivity on interfacial resistances in PEM water electrolyzers is investigated.

The catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 to methane and also methanol represent central research questions in the field of Power-to-X at Chair 1 of Technical Chemistry.
