The focus topic "Batteries" concentrates on pioneering sustainable, safe, and efficient energy storage solutions. We advance solid-state, anode-free, post-lithium-ion, and metal-air batteries by developing innovative materials, components, and systems for next-generation technologies. Our work bridges research to real-world applications in EVs and stationary storage through advanced modeling and simulation, utilizing real systems to refine and validate these models. Prioritizing eco-friendly materials, robust safety, and high performance, we address global energy challenges while minimizing environmental impact. Collaborating with academia and industry, we accelerate scalable innovation. By bridging all length scales - from material design to system integration - we enable breakthroughs that connect fundamental research to practical, efficient, and sustainable battery technologies.
