World record for batteries: Material innovation improves energy storage by 30 percent

Solid-state batteries are considered an important technology of the future: They can store more energy and are not made of flammable materials like the currently common lithium batteries. Researchers at TUM and TUMint.Energy Research GmbH have now taken a significant step in improving solid-state batteries. They developed a new material made of lithium, antimony, and scandium that conducts lithium ions over 30 percent faster than… Read more »

More and more electronic products are being disposed of improperly, ending up in recycling bins along with plastic waste. If the batteries and accumulators inside are damaged, they can cause fires in landfills. In the DangerSort project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS aim to remove these hazardous objects and thus make recycling plants safer – thanks to a sensor-based sorting system. According to… Read more »
