This is one of my favourite days of the year. The group goes for a walk (and some for a cycle)! A great day was had.
On my way home after a month in Poland and three weeks at Polytechnika Gdańsk, hosted by @Monika Wilamowska-Zawłocka and funded by the Einsteinum Program. It was a real honour to give several seminars and lectures on 'batteries from cradle to grave'. #Einsteinum #sustainable #batteries #cycling

Sustainable Recovery and Reuse of Hard Carbon From Scrap and End‐of‐Life Sodium‐Ion Batteries
As sodium-ion battery (SIB) technology advances, sustainable end-of-life recycling is crucial. This study presents a direct recycling method for hard carbon (HC) using low-temperature binder negation...

Busy morning at #F24MRS, Women in MRS breakfast meeting, now off to see Michelle Simmons, on Si Qubits, then the lovely @annahanke.bsky.social this afternoon (tuesday) at 15.15 Hynes level 3, room 300. See you there.
Today, I met up with the person who taught me to make and test lithium metal swagelok cells. This was when I started working my first job in a battery start-up, never having done any battery research previously, steep learning curve, but effective. Now the research group also use them. #battchat
Some great work led by Carl on the importance of rheological properties of inks in electrode costings. doi.org/10.1039/D4YA... #battchat #rheology #electrodes
Battery electrode slurry rheology and its impact on manufacturing
The manufacturing of battery electrodes is a critical research area driven by the increasing demand for electrification in transportation. This process involves complex stages during which advanced me...

Speaking at the Baccara power day at Muenster today. Talking about sustainability in battery design and recycling.
Some nice work by one of our former Phd students, now RA on cell balance for a sodium ion battery assessing formation and lifetime. I'm a big fan of this work. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Areal capacity balance to maximize the lifetime of layered oxide/hard carbon sodium-ion batteries
Optimizing the areal capacity balance between the negative and positive electrodes is crucial for enhancing the performance of sodium-ion batteries (S…
