Conductive electrode additives such as carbon black are indispensable components of lithium ion batteries. A MEET study has now addressed the question of how a pre dry mixture of lithium iron phosphate and conductive carbon black affects the conductivity and performance of the electrodes. Read more
The District Government of Münster is supporting the “AUForPro – Analytics to Support Lithium-Ion Battery Research, Production, and Recycling” project, which is being implemented at MEET. President Andreas Bothe presented the funding approval for approximately 4.5 million euros to the university's rector, Prof. Johannes Wessels, at the Schloss Münster. Read more (in German)
MEET PhD Student Silvan Stuckenberg worked at Tohoku University in Japan for three months. In this interview, he explains the research he conducted there and why he recommends other students to study abroad. Read more
A team from MEET Battery Research Center and the Institute of Business Chemistry at the University of Münster has developed a method for the scrap recycling of dry-processed lithium ion battery cathodes. Since the materials involved are not degraded by the recycling process, they can be directly reused. Read more
