Product and Strategy Development for Batteries

With our interdisciplinary expertise in battery materials, cells and systems, we can support you from the initial idea or an existing product through to market launch and beyond. We are continuously researching materials and battery cells across technologies and applications in order to make the battery as a whole more sustainable, safer and more powerful. Our Center for Electrical Energy Storage covers the entire process chain from initial concept studies and material validation to the production of state-of-the-art battery cells with subsequent electrochemical characterization and testing for mechanical, thermal and electrical safety in accordance with applicable standards is fully covered.

In addition to chemical, process engineering and production technology development, we are also available for strategic development. We analyze the current market situation, identify technological trends, monitor the competitive situation and the techno-economic situation in the battery sector.
