Poster Award goes to Karlsruhe

The first-place prize, awarded by the ECS and the GVT/DECHEMA, went to the research theme from Julian Klemence, a PhD student in the PoLiS cluster at the TFT-TVT research group. The big challenge around the production of Lithium-Ion-Batteries (LIB) is the critically lower availability of raw materials like Lithium. In the "Post Lithium Storage Cluster of Excellence" (PoLiS) are lasting and renewable, but also high capacity and reliable, energy storage systems researched.

The first results of the work titled "Sodium Ion Batteries (SIB)" were presented and compared with Lithium-Ion-Batteries. This work was conducted at the Center for Electrochemical Energy Storage Ulm & Karlsruhe (CELEST). The second place was awarded to a Korean group
