In the article Unveiling True Limits of Electrochemical Performance of Organic Cathodes in Multivalent Batteries through Cyclable Symmetric Cells, we have applied a symmetric cell to organic cathodes. It allows us to reveal unprecedented performance of organic cathodes in bivalent (Mg, Ca) batteriess. Research work was highlighted as cover feature in Batteries & Supercaps journal.

The work was performed as part of the Polystorage MSCA ITN project.

In the past few months we hosted Rebecca Grieco, a PhD student from IMDEA in Madrid. She is working on synthesis of conjugated porous polymers for energy storage. As part of her secondment in MSCA-ITN Polystorage project, she was testing her materials in magnesium and aluminium metal anode batteries and performing ATR-IR mechanism investigation.

We were happy to host you here Rebecca and wish you all the best in your future research!

Our colleague dr. Sara Drvarič Talian is this year's recipient of the Jožef Štefan Emblem Prize! She received the award for the high impact of her doctoral dissertation "Study of selected processes and parameters influencing the internal resistance in lithium–sulfur batteries " prepared under the mentorship of Assoc. prof. Dr. Robert Dominko from the Faculty of Chemical and Chemical Technology at the University of Ljubljana. In her research she addressed in a new way the significant problems associated with sulfur batteries using advanced analytical techniques, mainly through the measurements of impedance spectroscopies.

New paper!

The research was made in collaboration between the Modern battery group at NIC, collegues from Argentina and european battery industry. 🔋🧐

Lithium (Li) metal has been considered as an important anode candidate to reach more powerful energy storage devices with higher gravimetric and volumetric capacities. Nevertheless, the growth of high surface area lithium (HSAL) and dendrites during the stripping/deposition of Li causes safety conce...
