Hybrid Lectures

Date: Sept. 20, '21 to Sept. 24, '21

Lectures by our members:

Jürgen Janek

6 lectures on: Overview on experimental approaches assessing cell behavior on different levels (atomistic, component, cell level). Electrochemical techniques, diffraction, spectroscopy, microscopy (in situ/operando). Transport of ions/electrons in active materials and electrolytes, interface kinetics, thermal and mechanical properties. Evaluation of energy, power density, capacity fading, aging, etc.

Arnulf Latz

6 lectures on: Non equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical physics for ionic materials in electric fields. Free energy based derivation of transport theories and complex double layer formation in highly concentrated electrolytes. Models for electrochemical reactions. Microstructure resolved models of batteries. Upscaling from microstructure to extended porous electrode theory.

Virtual Workshop

Date: 27th - 28th of July 2021

The aim of this international virtual workshop is to highlight the role of women in state-of-the-art Post-Li energy storage research. The workshop will cover various topics from fundamental material and electrolyte research to advanced characterization and applications. Although significant progress in „bridging the gap” can be observed in recent years, female students and researchers in STEM subjects are still underrepresented. This workshop will bring together leading female scientists in Post-Li energy storage.

Ausstellung Akku Alle

4. Juni - 8. August 2021

Münsterplatzes 25

Die Ausstellung „Akku Alle?! – Elektromobilität und Energiespeicher“ zeigt die komplette Bandbreite der Ulmer Batterieforschung. Neben einer „Blackout“-Simulation für Ulm, bei der ein mehrtägiger Stromausfall im Donau-Illertal simuliert wird, werden hochkarätige Exponate aller beteiligter Wissenschaftsinstitute ausgestellt. So auch das Wasserstoffflugzeug Hy4 des DLR.

12^th Short Course on Coating and Drying of Thin Films and 5^th Thin Film Technology Forum will take place from June 21^th to June 25^th 2021 in Karlsruhe

The Short Course Coating and Drying of Thin Films addresses engineers, scientists and technicians working in the areas of coatings, functional films, direct printing, sensors, adhesives & tapes, battery coating, paints & automotive coatings, medical patches & diagnostics, optical foils, membrane processing, printed electronics, fuel cells and smart coatings, who intend to get insight into more fundamental aspects with industrial applications or to deepen their expertise. Leading national and international scientists and experts from academia and industry will report on topics of coating technologies, rheology, preparation of coating fluids and about fundamentals and industrial aspects of drying technology.
Within the scope of the short course, coating processes and drying technology are explained interactively by easily accessible examples, both in lectures as well as in a practical Workshop instructed by TFT staff members.

5^th Thin Film Technology Forum, renowned scientists will present and discuss recent research results and new trends in industry and academia with a focus on Advances in Printing, Batteries, Smart Processes & Coatings

CV Dr.-Ing.Kölch:

Dr.-Ing. Jürgen Kölch did his doctorate at the Technical University of Munich on exhaust gas scrubbing of diesel engines powered by plant oil. As a post doctorate he studied the durability of PEM fuel cells at the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research (ZSW) in Ulm. He has worked at EVA Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH for more than 16 years in various fields such as powertrain pre-development of alternative fuels, hydrogen/electric mobility infrastructure issues, upstream chain considerations, charging issues and the second life of used electric vehicle batteries.

Along with his work at EVA Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH, Dr. Kölch is also an associate lecturer at the Ingolstadt Technical University for the subjects “Electric mobility and alternative drive concepts in the automotive industry” and “Political and social trends in the field of mobility.”

3^rd International Symposium on Magnesium Batteries

8. und 9. September 2020

Kostenlose Web-Konferenz

Das 3^rd International Symposium on Magnesium Batteries richtet sich an die Forschungsgemeinschaft in diesem schnell wachsenden Bereich. Ziel des Symposiums ist es, den aktuellen Stand der Technik und die Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Magnesium-Batterien vorzustellen und zu diskutieren. Am zweiten Tag wird das größte europäische Projekt zu Mg-Batterien, das 'E-MAGIC'-Projekt, seine Ergebnisse präsentieren.

Stanford Energy’s StorageX Initiative brings together Stanford faculty from materials science to computer science to economics to tackle the dominant challenges in energy storage. By addressing gaps between academic and industrial R&D, StorageX aims to accelerate the development and implementation of revolutionary energy storage technologies and concepts.

StorageX International Symposium

This week's StorageX International Symposium will feature Prof. Jürgen Janek of the Justus Liebig University in Giessen, and BELLA, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, speaking on "Solid State Batteries and their Challenges;"
and Prof. Linda Nazar, University of Waterloo, presenting "Design 'Rules' for Solid State Electrolytes in Solid State Batteries."

 
Friday, June 5, at 4 pm German time.
Registration is free and open to the public.

Das Zentrum für elektrochemische Energiespeicherung Ulm-Karlsruhe (CELEST) veranstaltete am 25. und 26. Mai 2020 eine webbasierte wissenschaftliche Konferenz, um die Perspektiven für zukünftige Batterien in Europa zu diskutieren. Die Konferenz war eine Präsentation der in Europa durchgeführten Forschungsarbeiten im Zusammenhang mit der neu eingeführten Roadmap BATTERY 2030+. Ihr Zweck war es, die wissenschaftlichen Diskussionen innerhalb der Gemeinschaft BATTERIE 2030+ als Grundlage für die nächste Phase, als groß angelegte Forschungsinitiative, in Gang zu setzen.
