Project description:
The components of batteries for aviation must allow high power and hence high current densities while at the same time providing sufficient specific energy. The most promising battery is all-solid-state lithium-sulfur battery. The performance improvements can be achieved by a detailed understanding of the effects of the most promising materials and material combinations, their interfaces and of their micro-/meso-structural characteristics on the electrochemical performance. The challenge is a multiscale understanding and tailoring on surface, electrode and cell level, requiring a combined experimental and model-based approach.
