Lehrstuhl für Chemie der Materialien für Energieanwendungen

Yesterday, Dr. Sudarsanam Putla from the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad visit our institute here in Jena. He is an expert in Biomass and plastic recycling using heterogeneous nanocatalysts. It was a pleasure to have you here.

Today, our dear Henrik successfully defended his Master thesis in which he developed Sodium ion battery full cells based on Hard Carbons and Prussian White. Congratulations Henrik, we wish you all the best for your future in Sweden! You will be missed here in Jena.

Martin was recently invited to give a talk at the RESOLV summer school in Bochum. The session topics of the school were 'Solvation in Charge and Electron Transfer, in Complex Processes and in Biophysics.' Thanks to the Graduate School Solvation Science for the invitation.

Uni Jena triumphs again at the Unibund-Pokal 2025! 🏆 The team claimed victory over Halle and Leipzig — with Martin on the field and our group (the inofficial trainers of the team apparently) cheering from the sidelines. Here are also some impressions from the tournament.

Our postdoc Tilmann visited the National Coal Institute (INCAR-CSIC) in Oviedo/Spain for a status meeting of our joint M-ERA.NET project CoLi-SCo. During the meeting, the partners discussed current results and future directions of our research on Li-S batteries. Tilmann also gave a lecture on the electrochemistry of carbon materials.

Caesar, Merve, Kai and Konstantin represented our group´s research on Solid State Sodium Ion Batteries and Electrocatalysis at the Hannover Messe. It was a lot of fun to show and discuss our technologies with many interested visitors. Martin further displayed the Thuringian ways of energy storage and environmental research conducted here in Jena.
