Benjamin Krüner is presenting work at the 254th ACS National Meeting & Exposition in Washington DC, USA. His oral presentation has the title “Sub-micrometer novolac-derived carbon beads as electrodes for supercapacitors, redox electrolyte hybrids, and Li-S batteries.”.

Simon Fleischmann is presenting work at the International Nanoscience Student Conference (INASCON) in Bristol, UK. His oral presentation is entitled “Hybridization of carbon/metal oxides for electrochemical energy storage”.

Christian Prehal from the Institute of Physics at Montanuniversität Leoben (Austria) is presenting joint work on in situ tracking of ion electrosorption in nanoporous carbon at the XXVI International Materials Research Congress (IMRC) in Cancun, Mexico. The invited lecture is entitled “Structure and kinetics of ions in nanoporous carbon supercapacitors studied by in situ X-ray scattering and atomistic modelling”.

Simon Fleischmann and Marco Zeiger are participating at this years installment of the CARBON conference in Melbournce, Australia. Both our PhD students received also a travel fellowship of the German Academic Exchange Organization (DAAD) to cover the conference trip costs. On July 26th, Marco Zeiger is giving a talk called “Designing the carbon/vanadia interface for hybrid electrochemical energy storage” and Simon Fleischmann gives an oral presentation with the title “Carbon onions as substrate/conductive additive for asymmetric vanadia supercapacitor anodes”.
