🔋 Join me at the March Excellence seminar "Na-ion and K-ion Chemistry for Sustainable Battery" hosted by Battery 2030+! 🔋 🌐I'm curious to see what unfolds in the realm of sodium ion batteries with all their promises and potential for a rise. Potassium ion batteries, on the other hand, are a whole new world for me, and I'm genuinely excited to explore this fresh territory. The recycling aspect, though still a way off, is what really catches my interest. There's something about the sustainability aspect that adds an extra layer of excitement, don't you think? #Battery #Batterie #BatteryRecycling

We would like to announce Dr. Andréa MARTIN from theion as our Official Speaking Partner at our upcoming “𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞” that will take place on the 𝟏𝟖𝐭𝐡 - 𝟏𝟗𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 in Berlin Germany. Conference venue our partner hotel: 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐦 𝐓𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐧, address: Strasse des 17. Juni 106 – 108, Berlin Germany. Dr. Andréa Martin is one member of the the scientific team at theion GmbH. Following the completion of his Ph.D., which centered on battery sciences under the supervision of Prof. Pinna and Prof. Kemnitz, he joined the group of Michel Bojdys as postdoctoral fellow. During which, his research focused on the development of silicon anodes for lithium-ion batteries, as well as lithium-sulfur chemistries. In mid-2021, Dr. Martin joined theion GmbH, where his focus area is the development of sulfur cathodes, interfaces and lithium metal anodes.

Meet the previously known Solomzi Marco Ngalonkulu, now Dr. Solomzi Marco Ngalonkulu. In his thesis, he tackled an exciting challenge: improving the thermal performance of heat pump drying systems. He designed and built an innovative air-source heat pump drying (ASHPD) system that operates in open, semi-closed, and fully closed loops. By studying how factors like weather conditions, refrigerant charge, air circulation speeds, and expansion device sizes impact performance, he found a way to boost efficiency and drying quality. His research proves that recovering waste heat and optimizing the system could greatly enhance overall performance, making drying processes smarter and more sustainable. Halala, Dr. Ngalonkulu!

Please welcome Bernardo Yanez from Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi as our Thursday seminar speaker on Oct 17th from 10-11am. In his talk, he will explore various examples of the interdisciplinary field known as biosurface engineering, highlighting its potential to advance both scientific understanding and practical applications. #biosurface #engineering #biologicalengineering #chemicalengineering #research #softmatter

📣Today we continue the series of posts by around the new OPEN ACCESS PUBLICATIONS from project PULSELiON. ➡ We present the journal article “Influence of the mixing speed in the rheology of NMC622-based Li-ion battery electrode slurries”, which has been published in volume 26 of the Journal of Power Sources Advances in April 2024. 📄 The work presents systematic experiments and 3D-resolved computations to investigate materials organization in slurries and in the resulting electrodes. Understanding the slurry rheology and the interaction of the formulation components is fundamental for further engineering electrode manufacturing and analysis of the dried electrode’s output properties. 👨🔬 👩🔬 A big thanks to the authors of this publication: Diana Zapata Dominguez (CNRS), Jiahui Xu (CNRS), Yasmina Boudjema (CNRS), Siwar Ben Hadj Ali (CNRS), Franco M. Zanotto (CNRS) and Alejandro A. Franco (CNRS). 🔗  Would you like to download and read the work?

🚀 I am pleased to share our recent work on "Characterization and quantification of multi-field coupling in lithium-ion batteries under mechanical constraints", published by the Journal of Energy Chemistry (JEC) as a cover article. We believe that battery multi-field coupling (electrical-thermal-mechanical) evaluation in accurate SOC and SOH estimation will attract more research on this topic. 💪

The need for effective recycling methods for spent lithium-ion batteries is becoming increasingly critical. In the journal ChemElectroChem, scientists from various Polish research institutions, including Wyższa Szkoła Gospodarki w Bydgoszczy of Science and Technology (PBS), the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the PAS in Warsaw, and Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, presented a promising solution to this issue. #lionbattery 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲: https://lnkd.in/e3Z5_6ts Polish Academy of Sciences

It's incredible how polymers, like spaghetti on a plate, has revolutionized our daily lives. The viscoelastic theory of entangled polymers by The Nobel Prize laurate Pierre-Gilles de Gennes really caught my attention. Since, I have dedicated all my professional life to polymers, especially the ones with advanced functions to control interfaces, enhance structure, and manage touch and feel. To me, polymers is a fascinating matter. Maybe this is a typical Swedish thing? My compatriot Jöns Jakob Berzelius coined the term already in 1833. Still we had to wait almost another century for scientists to make the first materials. Leo Bakeland invented the first thermosetting phenol-formaldehyde resin in 1907, while Herman Staudinger dug deeper into the molecular nature of polymers, which he published in 1922. Then it took off; theoretical and practical understanding how to synthesize macromolecules and polymers, conductive polymer, bio-polymers. Let's keep pushing the boundaries of polymer innovation! 🌟🔬 #PolymerInnovation #MaterialEngineering #ScientificJourney
