Focus

New Batterytyp

A focal point of the research in the IEK-9 is the development of metal-air batteries. New insights in the functioning of the environmentally friendly silicon-air battery are recently published in two scientific publications. More: New Batterytyp …

SOFC

A further major activity in IEK-9 is the development of high-temperature fuel cells and electrolysers. The knowledge of the kinetics and mechanisms gained by investigation of the electrode processes is used for the development of novel electrolyte and electrode materials, which should make operation of the SOFC at temperatures below 600 °C with sufficient performance characteristics feasible. More: SOFC …

Methodolgy spectrum

The scientific competences of the IEK-9 are electrochemical, spectroscopic and microscopic technologies for the study of batteries and fuel cells. More: Methodolgy spectrum …
