Capturing CO2

To limit global warming, we need to emit less carbon dioxide (CO2) in future and also remove large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. This is the only way to prevent temperatures from rising by more than two degrees Celsius. Researchers involved in the DACStorE project are working on a technology to help achieve this aim.

Thinking about recycling from the get-go

Roll-up displays and photovoltaic films for façades – organic electronics have a great deal of potential. However, recycling concepts should be in place before the new technology becomes a mass product, recommends materials researcher Christoph Brabec.

The Accelerator

More efficient, faster, and sustainable: catalysis is Regina Palkovits’ passion as well as being an important aspect of "catalaix", a project being provided with € 106 million in funding. But accelerating processes is also a crucial part of the chemist’s life.

Fresh Opportunity for the Sodium–Sulfur Battery

Over 50 years ago, the sodium–sulfur battery was considered promising, but it failed to make its big breakthrough. Its poor performance at room temperature is a disadvantage. A Jülich development might now be able to solve this problem.

Energy Reserves

With each percent more electricity generated from wind and solar power, it is becoming increasingly clear: more storage is required for the energy transition. In particular, different storage systems are needed – not just different types of batteries, but also hydrogen. This is the only way to offset fluctuations, cope with periods in which little to no energy is generated, and keep the network stable.
