Post Lithium Storage
Events
The 5th International Symposium on Magnesium Batteries (MagBatt V) will take place from September 18 to 20, 2024 in Ulm, Germany. As always we will welcome some of the world's top battery speakers. The conference will feature contributions on magnesium, calcium, zinc and aluminum batteries. The aim of the conference is to present and discuss the recent state-of-the-art and the progress in the post-lithium field. More information here.

Batteries for a Sustainable Future
Working on your laptop on the move, searching for your way with your smartphone or taking pictures with your digital camera: Batteries have made the technological revolution of mobile devices possible at first. At the same time, they play a central role in the energy and transport revolution. In the Cluster of Excellence POLiS, we are researching batteries of the future that are more powerful, more reliable, more sustainable and more environmentally friendly than current lithium-ion batteries. POLiS is a joint cluster of KIT and the Ulm University with the associated partners JLU and ZSW.
