    (When) Will we see Solid-State Batteries? Prof. Jennifer Rupp
    Jul 30 2023
    Battery manufacturers around the world have been announcing solid-state cells for its groundbreaking characteristics. Yes, we see multiple outstanding (almost-) solid-state lab cells (some of which are already on the market!) but the high expectations have never really met reality: Not a single car manufacturer is currently placing all-solid-state cells in their EVs. So, whats taking them so long?

  • Skeleton's SuperBattery - Dr. Sebastian Pohlmann

    Skeleton's SuperBattery - Dr. Sebastian Pohlmann
    Jul 10 2023
    This podcast episode deals with an energy storage technology that is still underestimated in materials science: Hybrid battery supercaps. Supercaps are installed, for example, for regenerative braking (recuperation) in vehicles such as buses, trains, cranes and trains. The powerful energy storage systems are also found in wind turbines. Now, the Estonian company Skeleton Technologies invented a new hybrid form of battery supercaps.
