Best Poster Award for the ELS team

Last week Meinert Lewerenz and Pablo Morales presented at the Conference Advanced Battery Power 2022 with our most resent research on aging of lithium-ion batteries.

Dr. Meinert Lewerenz gave a talk regarding an innovative method for the fast estimation of battery aging: float currents. His presentation addressed the characterization results for several cell types (LFP/Graphite, NMC/Graphite and NCA/Graphite) with different active materials of the cell format 18650. This presentation offered a detailed scientific explanation of the float current method and, in this manner, the cornerstone of the newly founded project I-BasE lead by Dr. Lewerenz.

With a poster contribution Pablo Morales Torricos presented his first results corresponding to the influence of mechanical stress in battery aging and thus won the Best Poster Award. As a crucial part of the project BALd, which aims for the accelerated aging estimation and prognosis LIB, Mr. Morales Torricos presented along with initial measurements on Pouch batteries a test-bench for the investigation of mechanical stress, battery recovery and homogeneity of lithium distribution.
