Lithium-Ion battery (LIB) material

Lithium-Ion battery (LIB) material

Materials research for future-driven batteries. This involves the further development of anode, cathode and other cell components.

Research projects

This is a strategic project to achieve the EU energy transition goals by developing an innovative battery storage solution.

The project focuses on ecologically and economically sensible production and recycling of lithium-ion batteries.

Silicon-Graphene: upscaling the production of high-quality anode materials to the tonne-per-year scale

The project aims to develop and produce improved carbon-silicon composite anode materials, with increased cycle stability and improved energy density for lithium-ion batteries.

Development of high-energy lithium-ion battery cells for mobile applications by combining highly innovative nickel-rich cathode materials and silicon-dominant anodes.

PerForManZ focuses on the development of perforated foil arresters and silicon anodes for resource-saving material use in sustainable cell technology.

3D-Si-Elektrode

The project pursues the integration of fabric-based current collectors in VARTA cells, as well as a process for the production of mechanically and structurally stable three-dimensional silicon anodes for Li-Ion batteries. In addition to a significantly higher storage capacity of the cells, the use of copper should be massively reduced and the use of domestic resources of glass and carbon established.
