For technologies that cannot be described in a technology article because of their complexity and breadth, such as artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing and energy-storage methods, specific applications are now presented as showcases.
New materials for the next generation of batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are now an essential source of energy in everything from electric cars to medical implants. This type of battery in not without disadvantages though. That is why the CSEM Battery Innovation Hub is developing and testing new materials and manufacturing processes that will provide safer and more powerful batteries.
Longevity for batteries from the electromobility sector
Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) is collaborating on a research project with e-bike manufacturer Thömus Ltd. Data points are being collected from a fleet of 200 e-bikes and analysed to provide information about batteries’ ageing process. The aim of the research project is to slow down the ageing of batteries and to make second-life battery applications possible.
