The Cluster of Excellence POLiS (Post Lithium Storage) is a research association of the University of Ulm and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology as well as the associated partner Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg and the Justus Liebig University of Gießen , which is engaged in research into Batteries that can do without lithium completely. Since January 2019, the cluster has been funded by the federal government and the German Research Foundation (DFG) as part of the excellence strategy of the federal and state governments and has been running for seven years.

aims

The focus of the Cluster of Excellence is on research into high-performance, reliable and environmentally friendly storage systems that are intended to ensure the success of the energy transition and progress in electromobility. The main goal of the cluster is to develop a fundamental understanding of electrochemical energy storage in novel systems, to combine basic material properties with critical performance parameters and thus to create the basis for the practical use of post-lithium technologies. The cluster's research focuses on the alternative charge carriers sodium, magnesium and aluminum to lithium.

structure

The research is divided into four research areas, which are dedicated to the four main topics of electrode materials , electrolytes , interfaces and integration & sustainable cell technology . The areas are organized in 14 work packages that include several interdisciplinary projects. POLiS is embedded in the research platform CELEST (Center for Electrochemical Energy Storage Ulm & Karlsruhe). CELEST consists of 29 institutes from its partner institutions: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology , Ulm University and the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg . The platform combines application-oriented basic research with practical development and innovative production technologies.

Graduate School Electrochemical Energy Storage (GS-EES)

The Graduate School Electrochemical Energy Storage (GS-EES) was set up by CELEST in 2018. The cluster of excellence funds 60 doctoral students in the graduate school. The GS-EES deals with the entire interdisciplinary spectrum of electrochemical energy storage and conversion, from basic research to processing and application. The 3-year doctoral program offers students the opportunity to do a fast track doctorate, a mentoring program, support with international research stays and access to an industrial network.
