Bauhaus Luftfahrt shares insights on PtL during a lunch lecture on June 1, 2021

Recently, the new pilot-scale trickle bed reactor for the biological methanation of hydrogen and carbon dioxide has been installed at the Garching wastewater treatment plant. The Chair of Urban Water Systems Engineering researches the potential of biological methanation under anaerobic thermophilic conditions with so-called archaea, which use the supplied gases for their metabolism and thereby…

The storage technology of a CcH2-tank-system for heavy duty traffic combines a lot of advantages. First calculations show that the vision of the technology can be integrated in trucks.

In the new publication in Cell Reports Physical Science present the researchers at the Institute for Electrical Energy Storage Technology – EES an optimization framework that allows the stacking of the following applications on a single battery storage: frequency containment reserve, peak shaving, self-consumption increase, and spot-market trading. It shows that by tapping into multiple revenue…

Scientists at the Institute for Electrical Energy Storage Technology – EES report on their results of various electrically cross-linked, physicochemical-thermal simulations with variable system terminal in their last publication in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society. Within interconnected battery modules or systems, an inhomogeneous current distribution between parallel-connected cells is…

In the publication published in Journal "Chemistry of Materials" of the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry with Focus on Novel Materials as well as the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry in collaboration with the University of Augsburg report the scientist about their recent progress on the modification and synthesis of Lithium Phosphidotetrelates as a novel class of fast lithium ion conductors. The…

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…
