In order to meaningfully compare active battery materials with different properties, it is important to consider both the intrinsic electrochemical properties and the differences in the porous electrode structures at the same practically relevant area capacities. In this study, graphite and microsilicon anodes with a practical area capacity of 2.8 mAh cm-2 for lithium-ion batteries are compared… [read more]

The study investigates the stability limits of layered transition metal oxides (LiMO2) with higher nickel content as cathode active materials (CAMs). The improved performance is attributed to the lower potential of nickel-rich CAMs, which prevents detrimental electrolyte oxidation. The research finds that the stability of CAMs is determined by their composition and structural stability during… [read more]

New publication of the Chair I of Technical Chemistry on 3D printing of Pt-based catalysts for hydrogen release from liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC). [read more]

Large-bore engines are widely used in marine shipping and on-shore power generation. Methane as a fuel with reduced carbon footprint has been replacing heavy fuel oil (HFO) for the past years and engines have been retrofitted to accept gaseous fuels. With the expectedly increasing supply of green hydrogen, however, come new chances and challenges for engine development. [read more]

In the future, research will be conducted in the Bavarian chemical triangle on the climate-neutral transformation of the entire chemical industry in Germany. The main focus will be on the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier and starting material for important basic chemicals. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding the "Burghausen H2 Reallaboratory" joint project… [read more]

LTF launched a joint project with SBES GmbH and AYED-ENGINEERING GmbH in February 2023 for direct hydrogen combustion in the Allison 250-C20B helicopter engine. [read more]
