Dear doctoral students and young researchers, on 07.07.2016 the colloquium of the Munich School of Engineering (MSE) of TUM will be held for the sixth time. With the title "New Concepts in Energy Science and Engineering", it is the goal of the colloquium to bring knowledge and research in the field of energy at the TUM closer together and to provide a platform for discussion and exchange.… [read more]

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… [read more]

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… [read more]
