Change in the half-cell open-circuit potential curves of silicon–graphite and nickel-rich lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide during cycle aging / Julius Schmitt, Markus Schindler, Andreas Jossen

The Werner Siemens Chair of Synthetic Biotechnology (WSSB) is concerned with biotechnological processes for CO2 fixation and value-added conversion. In process development, synergies with thermochemical processes are actively identified and exploited.

About 15 partners of the TUM.Hydrogen and PtX network took part in the tour of the BioCORE test container at the Chair of Energy Systems on August 6. Despite the mixed weather, the tour of the high-temperature fuel cell plant for the highly efficient generation of electricity from biogas was a complete success. The appointment was probably the last opportunity to visit the test container at its…

Digital twins are the enabling technology for the "Energiewende" as they facilitate the transition from a centralized fossil-fuel based power generation to a decentralized and distributed renewable energy based power conversion. The Chair of Wind Energy takes part in the “e-TWINS” project representing the wind power generation among the diverse field of applicable technologies.

The Munich School of Engineering at the Technical University of Munich has published its annual report 2019/2020. It contains a lot of information about the TUM.Hydrogen and Power-to-X network.

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.

A great atmosphere at the TUM.Hydrogen and PtX Network overall meeting on the occasion of its two-year anniversary

The successful collaboration among the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry (TEC), the Institute for Machine Tools and Industrial Management (iwb), and the Institute for Electrical Energy Storage Technology (EES) within the projects ExZellTUM II (grant no.: 03XP0081) und ExZellTUM III (grant no.: 03XP0255) supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) resulted in the…
