Welcome new master student Lorena Ramirez. She is enroled in the AMASE program of Saarland University at the Department of Materials Science and engineering.

Welcome our new student intern Yang Liu. Yan is a master student from Saarland University at the Department for Materials Science and Engineering.

Volker Presser is giving a plenary lecture entitled ” A tale of two technologies: capacitive deionization and supercapacitors” at the ISEEcap conference in Nantes, France.

Our team has two active contributions at the 2019 MRS Spring Meeting in Phoenix, USA. On April 25th, Öznil Budak is giving an oral presentation entitled “Facile synthesis of vanadium (III) oxide/carbon core/shell hybrid particles as an anode for lithium-ion batteries”. On April 24th, Volker Presser is giving an invited oral presentation entitled “Perspectives on water desalination with ion intercalation compounds”.

New paper published in Journal of Materials Chemistry A on the use of sodium vanadyl phosphate as electrode material for sodium ion removal via electrochemical desalination.

PhD student Öznil Budak is one of the 5 receipients of the poster award for a poster presentation. Her poster was entitled “Facile synthesis of V2O3/carbon core/shell hybrids as an anode for lithium-ion batteries”. Congratulations!

New paper published in Batteries&Supercaps on vanadium oxide / carbon core/shell electrode materials for lithium-ion anodes. The work was done in collaboration with the Max-Planck Institute in Düsseldorf and present a simplified one-pot/two-step synthesis approach.
