Processing positive electrodes aqueously is an important step towards a more sustainable battery cell production. A team from MEET Battery Research Center has compared the influence of four potential binders on the physical properties and electrochemical performance of aqueously processed lithium iron phosphate (LFP) electrodes.

A team from MEET Battery Research Center has analyzed five different lithium iron phosphate (LFP) powders. The research focused on the questions of how suitable the materials are for dry-processing based on their intrinsic properties and their influence on cell performance. Read more
Research and development of anodes for lithium ion batteries faces crucial challenges. To eliminate the influence of the cathode, half-cells are frequently examined instead of full cells. A team from MEET Battery Research Center at the University of Münster has now modified the test protocol required for the analyses to enable more systematic research of anodes without a possible interference of the cathode.

Sodium ion batteries have become a hot topic: They are considered to be cost-effective and widely available. At the same time, dependencies on Asian supply chains could be reduced. But does the technology deliver what it promises? On Battery Day on February 18, MEET Division Heads Dr Johannes Kasnatscheew and Dr Markus Börner take a nuanced look at the potential of sodium ion batteries. Read more
