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… [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]
