How do dissolved transition metals from the cathode influence the aging of lithium ion batteries? A recent study by researchers at MEET Battery Research Center adressed this question. Using a newly developed cell design, the scientists were able to investigate, for the first time, the direct influence of individual transition metals during the ongoing aging process. Read more
For her presentation on the topic “ICP-TOF-MS and HRAM-MS in Battery Research, Production, and Recycling - From Single-Particle Analysis to Molecular Imaging,” MEET researcher Dr Julia Dressler was awarded a poster prize at the “Nordic Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry and Ionization Principles in Mass Spectrometry: From Elements to Molecules.” Read more
Electrification has long since reached the aerospace industry as well. Batteries, as a key technology, play a decisive role in determining the range and performance of drones and other similar devices. The latest issue of MEET Academy Online explained the technological advances currently being made and the solutions emerging for various applications. Read more
A recent study by the MEET Battery Research Center at the University of Münster and LG Energy Solution systematically compared the thermal stability of electrodes containing only graphite or silicon as the active material. The research focused on determining at what temperatures exothermic decomposition reactions begin and how intense these reactions are. Read more
