Characterization and Quantification of Depletion and Accumulation Layers in Solid‐State Li+‐Conducting Electrolytes Using In Situ Spectroscopic Ellipsometry / Leon Katzenmeier, Leif Carstensen, Simon J. Schaper, Peter Müller-Buschbaum, and Aliaksandr S. Bandarenka / Advanced Materials (2021): 2100585 - DOI

Thorough validation of the ECD-3-nano dilatometry cell and reliable data on the expansion of graphite and NMCs with different nickel contents. Comparison of XRD data of crystral structure changes of NCMs and electrode expansion reveals limited correlation between the two.

The funding for the Geothermal Alliance Bavaria (GAB) collaborative research project, which is being carried out by the Technical University of Munich together with the Friedrich Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, the University of Bayreuth, the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Munich University of Applied Sciences, will enter its second phase from 2021 to 2024. The existing…

Latest publications of Chair of Technical Electrochemistry report about several novel surface treatments to enhance the electrochemical performance and robustness of lithium and manganese-rich cathode materials for application in lithium ion batteries. SO3 Treatment of Lithium- and Manganese-Rich NCMs for Li-Ion Batteries: Enhanced Robustness towards Humid Ambient Air and Improved Full-Cell…

In the scope of a joint research project between TUM and partners from the industry, prismatic lithium-ion cells with integrated gas pressure sensors were manufactured. Scientists at the Institute for Electrical Energy Storage Technology - EES were able to show, that it is possible to measure the gas pressure inside large-format lithium-ion cells using miniaturized, commercially available sensors…

The publication "Thermal conductivity inside prismatic lithium-ion cells with dependencies on temperature and external compression pressure" by Marco Steinhardt and co-authors published in the Journal of Energy Storage deals with thermal conductivity measurements on a prismatic NMC graphite cell. In the study it could be shown that the thermal conductivity through the layers of the…
