Concept of a solid-state Sodium-ion battery

Oschatz group investigates safe solid-state sodium batteries

In the BMBF-funded "Natter" project, we investigate negative carbon electrodes in all solid-state sodium-ion batteries to circumvent safety issues of state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries.

Within the "Natter" project, which is funded with 2 Mio Euro by the BMBF, a versatile team of experts including the universities of Gießen (Prof. Jürgen Janek), Münster (Prof. Wolfgang Zeier), Berlin (Prof. Philipp Adelhelm), Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (Dr. Ingo Manke) as well as the Oschatz group tries to set the fundamentals for the succesfull development of an all-solid-state sodium-ion battery as true competitor to the currently dominating lithium-ion batteries.

Within the project consortium, our task is to develop negative electrodes based on carbon materials, which can guarantee a stable cycling life based on the interplay with a solid-electrolyte which is developed in Münster.

We are looking forward to an exciting new project and the collaboration with internationally renown battery experts!
