Electrical energy applications are highly efficient. The switch from conventional technologies to electrochemical energy conversion and storage reduces the energy demand - an important step on the road to the energy transition and the creation of a sustainable economy. Devices such as batteries, fuel cells or electrolysers can be regarded as (electro)chemical machines. The device performance depends on the (electro)chemical interplay of the active materials. Qualitative improvements are achieved by developing new materials and improving their interactions. In the Electrochemical Energy Materials division, we combine materials research and electrochemistry to design, investigate and further develop new energy materials. We take sustainability and safety aspects into account at an early stage.
