18650 battery 2600mah.Germany strongly supports the investment and construction of next-generation battery technology research and development platform

　　On March 26, local time, Germany’s largest electrochemical energy research center Ulm & Karlsruhe (CELEST) was officially launched. Researchers from different disciplines will now study high-performance and environmentally friendly energy storage systems here. In addition, the research center also acquired the Post-Lithium Storage (POLiS) Excellence Group, which is engaged in battery research in Germany. POLiS will receive financial support of approximately 50 million euros within seven years.

　　It is understood that the research center was co-founded by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), University of Ulm (HIU) and Baden-Württemberg Solar and Hydrogen Research Center (ZSW). The CELEST Research Center brings together 29 research institutes and 45 working groups, covering the entire chain from basic research to actual development and battery production. The platform's research focus is "Lithium-ion Technology", "Energy Storage Beyond Lithium" and "Electrochemical Energy Storage Alternative Technologies", covering all research topics related to electrochemical energy storage.

　　Ulrich Steinbach, Head of Baden-Württemberg’s Ministry of Scientific Research and Arts, said: “The launch of CELEST marks a milestone in energy research and paves the way for the European research program Battery 2030+, in which we strive to play a role in collaborating with researchers from across Europe. Together, the research institutions will play a leading and international role in developing next-generation battery technologies."

　　Secretary of State Christian Ruft emphasized the importance of battery research in meeting current society's challenges: "Efficient energy storage systems are key to ensuring future energy supply and mobility. To achieve this, we need new, powerful A cost-effective battery concept that can store more power, charge quickly and is safe. I am delighted that CELEST and POLiS are contributing to this important task and to the BMBF’s overall concept of the ‘Battery Research Factory’.”

　　Professor Michael Weber, Rector of the University of Ulm, said that within the POLIS Excellence Group, scientists in Ulm and Karlsruhe are working on next-generation battery technology. Unlike many of the batteries that power laptops, smartphones or electric cars today, these future energy storage device designs are not limited to the use of lithium and cobalt.

　　Professor Maximilian Fichtner, director of the new platform and spokesman for the POLiS Excellence Group, said the CELEST research center bundles expertise in the near-series production of large battery cells at ZSW. CELEST plans to make POLIS one of the largest battery research companies in the world.
