The Department of Electrolytes is dedicated to the development and optimization of relevant electrolytes for energy storage, especially polymer electrolytes and liquid electrolytes. / PD Dr. Gunther Brunklaus
The character and formation of phases at the interfaces of electrode and electrolyte influence the performance and lifespan of a battery. / Dr. Isidora Cekic-Laskovic
The interdisciplinary group for methodology explores concepts and analytical approaches for the comprehensive characterization and further development of materials in the field of electrolyte research. / PD Dr. Gunther Brunklaus & Dr. Kerstin Neuhaus
Molecular Modelling of Transport and Transfer Processes
In cooperation with the University of Münster group of Physical Chemistry Dr. Diddo Diddens involves molecular modelling of ion transport and electron transfer processes in energy materials in his habilitation project.
The methods of the theory group comprise classical molecular dynamics simulations, quantum chemical calculations, ab initio MD simulations, as well as Monte Carlo approaches. / Prof. Dr. Andreas Heuer
