Sustainable materials for the energy supply of the future
The X-rays from PETRA IV make visible how the nanostructures in batteries change during operation. This is how tiny metallic deposits form on the electrodes. These dendrites can grow and lead to defects. At PETRA IV, such details can be studied and used to develop functional materials for better batteries.
New Energy Technology
Nanocontrol of innovative Batteries
Research groups around the world are working to develop solutions for future energy supply that are economically, ecologically and socially viable. Climate change and rising energy consumption in times of increasing mobility make environmentally and climate-friendly alternatives urgently necessary. Here, PETRA IV is opening up new opportunities for the further development of sustainable materials over the entire cycle of energy generation, conversion and storage.
