Electromobility has become increasingly important in recent years, driven by both ecological and technological developments that necessitate the continuous enhancement of energy storage systems.Among the various battery technologies, lithium-ion batteries have demonstrated particularly high performance and efficiency potential. Their attributes, including high energy density and a long service life, have led to a significant increase in their utilisation across a broad spectrum of electromobility applications. However, the high manufacturing costs, limited availability of raw materials and challenges in recycling technology often impede the adoption of these systems on a large scale, necessitating the optimisation of economic and sustainable use.In addition to the further development of materials, novel production and recycling processes are pivotal for future progress.Innovative production methods must be devised to ensure greater energy efficiency, resource conservation and scalability.
Consequently, research at the ifs in the field of battery technology is focused on the development of new materials, efficient production processes and sustainable recycling concepts. These innovations should make a decisive contribution to reducing costs, minimising environmental impact and increasing the performance of future battery systems.
