Lithium-ion batteries used as energy storage are a key element of the energy transition. This type of battery is being used in ever greater numbers, especially in electromobility. At the end of their life in the vehicle, the batteries can continue to be used in stationary storage before being recycled. Even though this significantly minimizes the CO2 footprint and makes the recycling economy more effective, many new questions arise, e.g. about the qualification of the cells, cooling and the integration of stationary storage into the infrastructure. These issues are being investigated in detail in the ecoLEPuS project. | Duration: 09/2022 - 05/2026

Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells have the potential to become the successor to the previously dominant silicon solar cell technology. To be able to transfer the developments at the lower technology maturity level (TRL 1-4) more rapidly into industrial production and thus accelerate the development of the next-generation cell technology together with the German and European photovoltaic industry, an independent technology platform for perovskite-silicon tandem technology is to be established in the Pero-Si SCALE project. This platform shall not only provide successful production technologies for cells and modules of the next generation but also an extensive characterization and analysis environment from the solar cell up to the PV power plant. | Duration: 05/2023 - 12/2026
