Electrochemistry
Dr. Simon Fleischmann Nanoconfined Electrochemical Interfaces The research group "Nanoconfined Electrochemical Interfaces" deals with innovative electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage systems, which are based on ion intercalation. View research group
Methods
Prof. Dr. Helmut Ehrenberg Nanoscale Hybrid Materials The research group "Nanoscale Hybrid Materials" is working on the development of nanoscale functional materials for lithium-ion batteries. View research group
Materials
Prof. Dr. Timo Jacob Basics of Electrochemistry The research group "Basics of Electrochemistry" studies the fundamental aspects of electrochemical processes in electrochemical storage units. One of the tasks is to study the changes taking place between the surface of the electrodes and the electrolytes during the processes of charging and discharging. View research group
Electrochemistry
Dr. Marcel Weil Resources, Recycling, Environment & Sustainability Technical, ecological and economic system analysis. View research group
Systems
Prof. Dr. Axel Groß Elementary Processes The processes and structures that take place at the atomic level in batteries, especially at interfaces, are studied by the group Elementary Processes, who use modern quantum chemical procedures, in particular those based on density functional theory. View research group
Theory
PD Dr. rer. nat. Thomas Waldmann Batteries in Application The research group "Batteries in Application" deals with the performance, safety and life of batteries. View research group
Systems
Prof. Dr. Birger Horstmann Theory of Electrochemical Materials The research group models batteries as part of Prof. Latz's department at DLR. Various methods such as quantum simulation, machine learning and theoretical thermodynamics enable a deeper understanding of everything from individual atoms to the entire battery cell.
