Battery Venture Course 2026 by TUM Venture Labs: Applications Open

How can promising battery innovations be translated into viable business models and scalable ventures? The Battery Venture Course 2026 addresses exactly this challenge with a hands-on, interdisciplinary program for participants interested in entrepreneurship in the battery field.

New Publication from the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry: Comparative Study of Silicon–Carbon Composite, Graphite, and Silicon Anodes for Next-Generation Lithium-Ion Batteries

In a study published in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society, Jonas Dickmanns and Moritz Bock from the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry at TUM present a comparative full-cell analysis of silicon–carbon (Si/C) composite, graphite, and microscale silicon anodes paired with NCA cathodes. The work addresses a key challenge in lithium-ion battery development:…

New Publication from the Chair of Technical Electrochemistry: Quantifying an SoC- and SoH-Dependent Contact Resistance in Multilayer Pouch Cells Using EIS

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a core tool for analyzing large-format lithium-ion cells. However, the very low cell impedance of these cells amplifies inductive artifacts at high frequencies and can mask a cathode-side contact resistance. This study presents a practical approach to identify this contribution: by linking electrode-resolved T-cell EIS…

New publication from TUM’s Chair of Technical Electrochemistry: Composition controls OCV hysteresis in cobalt-free, Li-rich layered oxides

In a recent study published in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society, Tim Kipfer, Rafael B. Berk, Felix Riewald, Michele Piana, and Hubert A. Gasteiger (TUM Chair of Technical Electrochemistry) investigate how the composition of cobalt-free, lithium-rich layered oxides (LR-NMs) relates to open-circuit-voltage (OCV) hysteresis. This link is crucial because OCV…

New Publication from the Chair of Electrical Energy Storage Technology: Aging Behavior of High-Capacity Pouch Cells Under Controlled Anode Potential Charging

In a recent study, the Chair of Electrical Energy Storage Technology at TUM investigated the aging behavior of 5.4 Ah multilayer pouch cells cycled within different state-of-charge windows. Charging was performed using voltage trajectories derived from physiochemical-thermal simulations at defined constant anode potentials. 🔗 Open-access article:…
