How are the batteries of the future developed? And what career opportunities does battery research offer? 14 schoolgirls and two schoolboys explored these questionsat MEET Battery Research Center and Helmholtz Institute Münster during Girls’ Day on April 23, 2026. As part of the nationwide career orientation day, they gained exciting insights into the daily work of scientists and technical experts. Read more
For his poster “Novel Polysaccharide Binder for N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone-Based Electrode Processing of Ni-rich Layered Oxide Cathodes”, MEET PhD student Laurin Profanter was awarded the poster prize at this year's Advanced Battery Power Conference in Münster. In his work, Profanter investigated a polysaccharide binder for cathode processing. Read more
With the aim of developing a modular pilot line for automated battery cell production, the “REFlexBatt 2.0” project (expansion of battery pilot production to enhance traceability, evaluation, and flexibility for the future diversification of battery technology) has been launched at MEET Battery Research Center.
