Since the beginning of the year, there have been a further Young Investigator Group at HIU: Novel electrode materials for rechargeable electrochemical energy storage – in short: NEW E2. . It was officially acknowledged as KIT Young Investigator Group this month. In the next few years, the team around Dr. Dominic Bresser will focus on the research and development of innovative anode materials which store lithium ions reversibly through a combination of conversion and alloying reactions. The goal here is to enable higher energy and power densities.
The research project is funded by the Vector Foundation for the next three years.

In addition to Dominic Bresser, three doctoral students – Jakob Asenbauer, Tobias Eisenmann and Yanjiao Ma – will be researching the topic. The appointment of another doctoral student is scheduled for September.
The research work of NEW E2 responds to current developments in electromobility and the associated growing demand for advances in these storage technologies.
