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]

Scientists study the growth of solid electrolyte interphases (SEI) on graphite anodes in the graphite-NMC-cells and characterize the accumulation of Li on the graphite particles. Furthermore the impact of lamination, formation and cycling of the cell on this SEI accumulation was quantified. [read more]

In the recent publication "Li-ion half-cells studied operando during cycling by small-angle neutron scattering" a Li-ion half-cell with a graphite electrode is cycled against a metallic lithium counter-electrode using small-angle neutron scattering. [read more]

The recently published paper "Analysis and modeling of cycle aging of a commercial LiFePO4/graphite cell" by Dr. Maik Naumann and co-authors deals with the cyclic aging of commercial LFP graphite cells and its modeling.   Based on a large-scale cycling experiment, the most important influencing parameters for aging were identified and transferred into a semi-empirical model. This model was… [read more]

The 8th Battery Forum took place in Berlin from 22 to 24 January 2020, organized by the Competence Network Lithium-Ion Batteries (KLiB) with the support of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). On the first day of the event, invited speakers from industry, science and politics looked at the topic of batteries in Germany from different perspectives. On the following two days,… [read more]
