BASF and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology develop tomorrow's battery materials
BASF
Work will focus on increasing the service life of batteries and using materials of high storage capacity. Safety of battery systems also is a central issue. Both partners will invest about EUR 12 million in the next five years for this purpose. The development of high-performance battery systems is one of the big challenges for future electromobility and integration of renewable energies.
In first joint projects, scientists are studying materials and components for future battery generations. For example, ceramic ion conductors shall be developed for use as protective layers in these batteries.
For KIT's strategic focus on battery research and electromobility BELLA plays an important role. In parallel, the Competence E project is presently being established at KIT. It coordinates all activities of KIT in the fields of electric energy storage and electric drive systems. Competence E focuses on establishing an integrated research fab. At this research fab, new high-performance batteries for electric vehicles and viable electric engines and drives will be developed.
