Atomistic Simulations Speed up Research on New Battery Materials

Excerpt

High-performance, long-lasting energy storage devices are crucially important for many future-oriented technologies: for example, for electromobility, for mobile end devices such as tablets and smartphones as well as for the efficient use of energy from renewable sources. Dr. Daniel Mutter from the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials (IWM) was able to clarify what the chemical composition of solid ceramic electrolytes should be in order to ensure good performance in lithium-ion batteries. …
