Efficient thin-film batteries in the near future

Posted on by Haptic

Empa researchers have achieved a milestone in the search for a solid electrolyte, the conductive medium for future solid-state batteries. On the one hand, this material must be highly conductive for lithium ions, and on the other hand manufacturing costs should be as low as possible. Ultra-thin layers of a special ceramic (chemically speaking, Li7La3Zr2O12) Read more about Efficient thin-film batteries in the near future[…]

Economical energy storage for the electric car of tomorrow

Posted on by Haptic

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS in Dresden have developed a new production process with the aim of efficient and environmentally friendly future battery production. They coat the electrodes of the energy storage cells with a dry film instead of liquid chemicals. This simplified process saves energy and eliminates toxic Read more about Economical energy storage for the electric car of tomorrow[…]
