The study presents in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data measured during (de)sodiation and (de)lithiation of a commercial hard carbon anode material comparing the contributions to the hard carbon electrode resistance (Ranode), i.e., charge transfer (RCT), pore (Rpore), and separator resistance (RHFR).

Today, after almost two years of collaboration in the TUM.Battery network, we can look back on a very successful time. Despite the challenges that Covid-19 pandemic brought to all of us, with restricted laboratory operations in spring and again towards the end of the year, numerous publications and project starts could be reported this year.

In the new publication in Cell Reports Physical Science present the researchers at the Institute for Electrical Energy Storage Technology – EES an optimization framework that allows the stacking of the following applications on a single battery storage: frequency containment reserve, peak shaving, self-consumption increase, and spot-market trading. It shows that by tapping into multiple revenue…
