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 partners the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg and the University of Giessen, which is engaged in the research of batteries that do completely without lithium.[1] Since January 2019, the cluster has been funded by the German Federal Government and the German Research Foundation within the framework of the Excellence Strategy of the Federal Government and the State Governments and runs for seven years.[2]
Objectives[edit]
The Cluster of Excellence focuses on research into high-performance, reliable and environmentally friendly storage systems that will ensure the success of the energy revolution and progress in electromobility.[3] The Cluster's central goal 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 lay the foundations for the practical use of post-lithium technologies.[4] The research of the cluster concentrates on the charge carriers sodium, magnesium and aluminium as alternative to lithium.[5]
Structure[edit]
The research is divided into four research units which are dedicated to the four main topics Electrode materials, Electrolytes, Interfaces and Integration & Sustainable Cell Technology. The units are organised in 14 work packages comprising several interdisciplinary projects. POLiS is embedded in the research platform CELEST (Center for Electrochemical Energy Storage Ulm & Karlsruhe).[1] CELEST consists of 29 institutes of its partner institutions: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, University of Ulm and the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg. The plattform combines application-oriented basic research with close-to-practice development and innovative production technologies. [6]
Graduate School Electrochemical Energy Storage (GS-EES)[edit]
The graduate school Electrochemical Energy Storage (GS-EES) was established by CELEST in 2018. The Cluster of Excellence finances 60 PhD students in the Graduate School. GS-EES deals with the entire interdisciplinary spectrum of electrochemical energy storage and conversion, from basic research to processing and application. The 3-year PhD program offers students the opportunity of a fast track doctorate, a comprehensive mentoring program, support during international research stays, and access to a broad industry network.[7]
