Right now, lithium-ion batteries represent the state of the art in electric vehicles (EVs) as well as smartphones. But apart from their chemical composition, there are numerous differences between…
Batteries are increasingly becoming a central element of our everyday lifes.They are becoming more powerful, more durable and more widespread – and therefore also need to become increasingly secure.
Energy storage systems are becoming increasingly important, powerful and widespread. However, this also means that the demands on their safety and durability are growing.
Imagine you have a mobile phone or an e-bike and suddenly the battery catches fire. Unfortunately, this happens time and time again. But why do batteries catch fire? Jörg Moser from Graz University of…
Bernhard Gadermaier, a researcher at the TU Graz Institute for Chemistry and Technology of Materials, provides a chemical perspective on how batteries can be best protected.
With EUR 10m in federal funding, Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) is enhancing its hydrogen infrastructure. The new electrolysis test centre and expanded testing facilities are reinforcing…
In 2040, electricity production from solar installations will often significantly exceed demand, especially at midday. Robert Schürhuber from the Institute of Electrical Power Systems at TU Graz…
Batteries undercut their theoretical capacity in practice, sometimes significantly. In a lithium iron phosphate cathode, researchers at TU Graz have now been able to observe exactly where the capacity…
Researchers at the Vehicle Safety Institute will team up with national and international partners to make batteries safer, extend their service life and make them more sustainable. The FFG, the…
A team from TU Graz has analysed the risk and damage potential of hydrogen vehicles in tunnels and derived recommendations. Their conclusion? Any damage would be extensive, but its occurrence is…
