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
The University of Münster has secured approximately € 700,000 in funding from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) for the project “BATTERY PIONEERS: Global Green Mobility Talent in Battery Research”. The project's objectives include attracting to the field of battery research highly qualified prospective international doctoral researchers and increasing the proportion of women in the programme.
