Energy production and storage are important issues for humanity. While Li-ion-batteries are well established as energy storage systems for small devices, they are not yet very present in larger applications like cars.We intend to develop new composit materials in order to make electrode materials i) more efficient and b) less toxic. Composit materials have the advantage of rendering the electrodes more conductive, lighter and more efficient as less active material is required per volume. We will make nanoscale electrode materials, develop composits which improve the electrode properties and test these batteries for their performance. On the other hand, we will also and in parallel develop methods for the recycling of such nanoparticle-containing materials.
