Unexpected Cause of Capacity Loss in Lithium Metal Batteries Identified
New study shows: Local dry-out of pores and the formation of resistive intermediate layers at critical electrolyte amounts is the cause of “cell death”.
Helmholtz Institute Münster (HI MS; IMD-4) with the official designation "Ionics in Energy Storage" was founded by Forschungszentrum Jülich, the University of Münster and RWTH Aachen University in 2014. It was assigned to the Institute of Energy and Climate Research (IEK) at Forschungszentrum Jülich until 30 June 2024 and has been part of the newly founded Institute of Energy Materials and Devices (IMD) since 1 July 2024.
The international and interdisciplinary team of HI MS explores new battery technologies based on innovative electrolytes.
