The International Graduate School “BACCARA” (Battery Chemistry, Characterisation, Analysis, Recycling and Application) at the University of Münster will continue to train specialists in battery research over the next five years. To this end, BACCARA will receive around five million euros from the Ministry for Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. Read more
To further develop lithium-sulfur batteries, it is essential to precisely characterize lithium polysulfide species and thus prevent their formation. A team from MEET Battery Research Center has therefore developed a method that can be used to specify and quantify polysulfide anions and molecular sulfur in lithium polysulfide solutions in organic solvents.
