Master thesis defended
Winni defended his master thesis on “Characterization of the Kinetic Properties of Glyme-Based Electrolytes for Sodium Ion Co-Intercalation in Graphite via Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy“! Congratulations for a very successful thesis and welcome to the group as forthcoming PhD student.
A new Master!
Cristina defended her master thesis on the intercalation of solvated potassium ions into graphite. An early step for the groups activities on K-ion batteries. 😊 Congratulations Cristina and welcome as a PhD student!
Top 100
Prof. Adelhelm selected as one of the 100 most important persons in science in Berlin
Tagesspiegel: „100 Köpfe der Hauptstadt-Wissenschaft 2023“
Poster prize for Dr. Yanan Sun!
Yanan attended the International Sodium Battery Conference (ICNaB) in Liyang, China, and won a poster prize for her contribution on layered sulfides as cathodes for Na-ion batteries. Congratulations Yanan!! Moreover, we drove a EV car with Na-ion batteries!
Goodbye Christiaan!
Thanks to Christiaan for being part of our team! Christiaan is a master student at Utrecht University (Prof. Peter Ngene) and studied in the last half year cathode materials for Na-ion batteries with Yanan. His stay was also supported by the HZB international program. Hope we stay in touch!
Prof. Adelhelm to hold the Debye Annual lecture at Utrecht University.
Prof. Adelhelm was awarded to hold the Annual Debye lecture at the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science, Utrecht University, The Netherlands. Title “Na-ion batteries: Energy storage based on abundant elements” The lecture included meeting former colleagues Prof. Petra de Jongh and Dr. Peter Ngene. And of course the day had to end in a beer bar at a Dutch canal.
Visit by Prof. Kaghazchi
Prof. Payam Kaghazchi from Forschungszentrum Jülich was visiting us to discuss the structure of layered oxides for Na-ion batteries. Thanks for a great lecture on “Mechanism of incorporation of dopants into layered oxide cathode materials”. The cooperation with Prof. Kaghazchi is funded by the DFG.
ECS Meeting Boston: Dr Gustav Åvall presentation award winner
Gustav received a “best presentation award” on the 243rd ECS Meeting in Boston for his talk on “Uncovering the Electrochemical Sodium-Solvent Co-Intercalation Reaction with Graphite” (Sodium/Zinc batteries). Congratulations Gustav!
Sai Gautam Gopalakrishnan's visit
Prof. Sai Gautam Gopalakrishnan from the Indian Institute of Sciences, IISc Bengaluru, visited our institute at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Thanks for giving a great talk on "Materials discovery for energy storage using computations and machine learning". And of course it had to end with a nice dinner!
Master theses completed - Tamino Bosse
Tamino defended his Master thesis on the “A bottom up mechanochemical synthesis of tin animonide (SnSb) nanoparticles as anode materaisl for sodium-ion batteries”.
Congratulations Tamino! Best of luck!
Good bye of Jia Guo from Aalborg University
Jia says Good Bye after his research stay on characterizing Li-ion battery materials. Thanks for being here!
