Dominic lithium battery energy storage

What is electrochemical energy storage materials?

The group tries to create a fundamental understanding of the electrochemical reactions and mechanisms. The research group "Electrochemical Energy Storage Materials" focuses on the development and research of alternative electrode materials and electrolyte systems for lithium-based batteries and related energy storage technologies.

Why do we need a lithium-based and Li-free battery system?

The development of new, sustainable and improved active and inactive materials for lithium-based and Li-free battery systems is essential for a successful energy transition. The diversification of the usable energy storage technologies and their optimization for selected applications is seen as a decisive factor.

Who funds a lithium battery research group?

This research group is partially funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft (DFG) through the Cluster of Excellence POLiS. The vast majority of commercial lithium batteries is based on the use of insertion-type or intercalation-type electrode materials.

Are aqueous rechargeable zinc batteries a sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries?

Additionally, aqueous rechargeable zinc batteries are promoted as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries, especially for renewable energy storage.

Why is lithium a major source of energy?

The consumption and production of lithium experienced strong growth in the last years because of its use in LIBs for consumer electronics, energy storage, and electric vehicles.

Are lithium batteries reversible?

The vast majority of commercial lithium batteries is based on the use of insertion-type or intercalation-type electrode materials. Such materials can reversibly host the charge carrier cations without substantial changes (or the degradation) of the crystal structure.
