Battery Laboratory
Our battery lab enables the electrochemical investigation of liquid metal batteries, liquid metal electrodes and molten salt electrolytes.
For experiments, cells are build and tested under argon atmosphere in the glove box as well as demonstrator-cells outside the glove-box.
Experiments in the Battery Laboratory
Experiments with Liquid Metal Battery Cells
In the battery laboratory, different types of cells and different chemistries are tested. Activities, efficiencies and corrosive properties are examined.
