Skill & scale up – Education to drive innovation!

John B. Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino: What do these three men have in common? They are considered the "fathers of the lithium-ion battery". Their research is in smartphones, e-cars, and laptops, and they have revolutionized our everyday lives and changed the world extraordinarily. In 2019, they were honored for this with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. But how exactly does a battery work? Why do we need energy storage devices? What cell types do we distinguish between?

With our information campaign "Skill and Scale up" we report on three central research areas of battery cell production. The range of topics is wide and each angle shows a different facet: Together with Münster University of Applied Sciences, we teach students the basics of battery research in the winter semester of 2023/2024. The content of the campaign fills in with each week of lectures.

For this purpose, we look over the shoulders of the researchers in the FFB Workspace, take a look at the "FFB PreFab" and would like to take the readers into the world of battery cell production with generally understandable reports.
