In November, three new projects in the field of battery research under lead of TUM will start. The projects are part of the new BMBF competence clusters for analytics/quality assurance (AQua) and are funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with a total of €4.2 million. In the projects AQua - OperaXX and AQua - PoP the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry (TEC) is working on…

We congratulate Prof. H. Gasteiger on this achievement! The award is a recognition for his outstanding contributions to development in battery research. His group, the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry at the Technical University of Munich, develops materials, electrode designs and diagnostics for lithium-ion batteries and PEM fuel cells/electrolysers. Prof. H. Gasteiger has published 202…

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…
