Researchers at Helmholtz Institute Münster and MEET Battery Research Center have discovered the causes of capacity loss in lithium metal batteries. The reason for premature cell failure is the formation of a resistive interphase on the anode, in particular at low electrolyte amounts. Read more
For his poster “Lithium Squarate as Sacrificing Electrolyte Additive for Prelithiation: Case Study in Zero-Excess Lithium Metal Batteries ” Ibrahim Lawan Abdullahi, PhD student at MEET Battery Research Center and the International Graduate School BACCARA, was awarded at this year's BACCARA Power Day.

What do potatoes, children, and batteries have in common? Quite a lot, because they were all the focus of attention at the “Türen auf mit der Maus” (Open Doors with the Mouse) day on October 3 at MEET. Thirty-two young researchers between the ages of six and ten experimented together with scientists and turned a tuber into a real source of electricity that lit up a small diode. Read more
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
