Electrochemical Energy Storage (EES)
We are dedicated to electrochemical energy storage, which can provide compact and highly efficient storage for decentralized supply systems and sustainable electromobility: powerful, safe and cost-efficient. In a comprehensive approach, our research aims for
- new battery materials,
- new processes for cell production,
- new battery production technologies and battery systems development
for specific stationary and mobile applications.
The research on EES is structured in a "bottom-up" approach within the following three subtopics
In the Cluster of Excellence, we are researching batteries of the future - 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.
