Whether particularly small, light, fast-charging, powerful or long-lasting: the requirements for batteries vary depending on the area of use. There is no one cell for all applications, but there is a special cell for every application. But which energy storage system is suitable for which use and which technologies complement the lithium-ion batteries that dominate the market? These questions were the topic of the MEET Academy Online. Read more
Researching abroad, building international networks and developing further: With these goals in mind, Niklas Abke, a doctoral student at the MEET Battery Research Center, traveled to Japan for eight and a half weeks to work at Kyushu University.
