Mingren Liu and Delvina Tarimo (PhD) have been selected to participate in the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. At present, Mingren works on nanoporous carbon supercapacitors and advanced battery chemistries, pushing the boundaries of energy storage. And Delvina focuses on lithium-sulfur batteries and sustainable electrode materials, driving the next generation of green energy solutions. Congratulations, Mingren and Delvina! You are the 6th and 7th member of our team to experience LINO!
Volker Presser gives two oral presentations at the MATSUS conference in Sevilla, Spain:
Welcome to the team! To work on battery materials, we welcome Karl-Sten Põder from Estonia to our team 🌻
Welcome Burcu Tan who will be working on electrochemical lithium ion extraction in our team on the eLiFlow project.
Welcome new student intern Matthias Haller from Saarland University who will be working on exploring electrochemical energy storage and advanced supercapacitors.
Our PhD student Cansu Kök presents a poster at the 2024 Fall MRS with the title “Continuous Lithium-Ion Extraction via Fuel Cell Desalination”
Two contributions from our team at the 38th Topical Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry (Nanomaterials in Electrochemistry): Volker Presser is giving an oral presentation with the title “MXene and hybrid electrodes for high performance energy storage” and Cansu Kök present a poster on “Continuous Lithium-Ion Extraction via Fuel Cell Desalination”.
Welcome to your new Postdoc Meenu! She will be working on Lithium-sulfur batteries and advanced electrode materials.
Delvina Tarimo (PhD) Tarimo has started her Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) Fellowship in our group. Delvina has a strong background in Materials Science. With a Ph.D. from the , her work was dedicated to electrochemical energy storage, with a focus on bio-sourced carbons and supercapacitors. Delvina’s fellowship project explores advanced lithium-sulfur batteries using MXene and activated carbon composites. She will look at fundamental mechanisms of these materials and optimize toward enhanced performance. We are grateful to have Delvina with us and we are excited about the joint journey ahead of us!
Thanks to the creativity of Uwe Bellhäuser and the patience and positive energy of our whole team, we are happy to launch now our new team feature video – to share our team’s excitement about research and to showcase the real heroes and heroines of science: the people of our group! Enjoy the video and get inspired… to join us. 🚀 Explore! Create! Apply!
It is a tradition at the Natural Science Faculty of Universität des Saarlandes to have the annual PhD Day in the Aula. This year, 60 PhD student presented their research, ranging from artificial muscles, to much real mucus, from 3D printed nanofluids to very solid metals, from quantum communication to quorum sensing inhibitors. From our team:
Nikolaos Papadopoulos shared his insights into electrochemical modelling.
薛丽颖 introduced us to the concept of high-entropy battery electrodes.
Jean Gustavo De Andrade Ruthes demonstrated the exciting field of gel electrolytes.
Panyu Ren taught us the value of electrochemical ion separation.
And Le Thao presented the latest results from our collaboration with the spherogel team of Michael Elsaesser on hybrid carbon spherogels for battery applications.
Welcome Prof. Dominik Barz from Queen’s University (Canada) for his 1-month research visit to our laboratory to work on supercapacitors with us. We thank the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for the funding of the visit.
The IOP Journal “Materials Futures” has included our paper led by alumnus Qingsong Wang in the collection of the “Materials Futures 2023 Best Paper Award”.
