The Chemistry of High-Performance Batteries and their Challenges

Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Jürgen Janek

Justus-Liebig Universität Gießen

Abstract:

Since their invention more than 200 years ago, “galvanic cells” have been

developed as versatile electrochemical storage devices – with storage

capacities extending over 8 orders of magnitude; from small and ultrastable batteries for medical devices to large-scale grid storage systems. In

this lecture, the current status of high-performance batteries will be briefly

reviewed, and the most important cell concepts will be discussed (lithium

ion batteries, sodium ion batteries, solid state batteries, post-lithium

concepts). The role of solid state chemistry and electrochemistry, along

with organic/polymer chemistry and materials science will be highlighted.

Two major examples for remaining challenges will be presented in more

details, i.e., the quest for even higher energy densities and the search for

cell concepts with less critical supply chains. In any example, the critical role

of controlling chemical reactivity will be emphasized
