Motivation
The Priority Program "Design of Synergies in Tailored Mixtures of Heterogeneous Powders" focuses on developing functional particle systems by controlling hetero-contacts between different particles. These contacts are key to achieving synergistic properties critical for applications in energy, mobility, and life sciences.
Project Goals
At the Institute for Particle Technology, we focus on creating heteroaggregates for solid-state batteries, where the interfacial contact between particles is essential for optimizing electrochemical performance. Particle size and controlled aggregation play a critical role in achieving the desired contact properties and functionality. To characterize and optimize these systems, we employ a range of methods, including particle size analysis, Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations, and evaluation of active mass utilization during cycling. Advanced imaging techniques such as FIB-SEM and SEM are used to visualize particle interfaces and structures, while both simulations and experimental measurements are applied to assess electrical conductivity and predict performance.
