Integrated Computational Materials, Process and Product Engineering – IC-MPPE 2022

Since the large automotive companies go ahead with the electrification of the power train, also the demand for more powerful electrochemical energy storage systems is growing. However not only the automotive industry requires more powerful accumulators. In the area of mobile consumer electronics, the proceedings of the last years are compensated by the rising energy demand of the devices. In...

To this date lithium dendrites remain one of the key challenges in solid-state Li-batteries (SSLB).1,2 The formation and growth of these dendrites cause an inevitable failure at charge rates far below the threshold set by industry (>3mA/cm2) and are believed to be driven by stress accumulation stemming from the deposited lithium itself. Upon reaching a critical pressure, the solid-state...

The development of the key components of battery-electric and fuel cell vehicles, namely the battery pack and fuel cell system including the related cooling system and hydrogen/air media supply for the latter, is closely linked to different challenges with regards to performance, lifetime and safety. In the case of battery-electric vehicles, the engineers must specifically take care of the...

Energy systems based on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) are among the most promising future technologies for sustainable clean energy supply and storage. SOFCs convert the chemical energy of a fuel into electrical energy with high efficiency and low emissions. A major advantage of SOFC technology is its fuel flexibility. SOFCs are capable of converting...
