DFG project "OILSANDSBATT"

New DFG project "OILSANDSBATT"

Our new binational project "OILSANDSBATT" synergistically combines the expertises of material science and battery research by exploring the potential of oil sand, an abundant Canadian ressource, as promising feedstock for the fabrication of battery electrode materials.
