In the area of energy materials, Fraunhofer IISB works on innovative battery materials and semiconductor devices with a strong focus on application requirements. In addition, we also consider the recyclability of the products in order to actively contribute to the energy transition. Projects we are working on include the development of cell concepts and manufacturing processes for sustainable batteries based on aluminum-ion technology. Our solutions do not require critical materials such as lithium or cobalt and are safe, cost-effective as well as recyclable. On the flexible, CMOS-compatible cleanroom line, the IISB processes customer-specific designs for high-performance electronic devices. In our labs, we have comprehensive analysis and characterisation tools. These are used for profound examinations of the new materials and processes. Our in-operando investigation methods enable us to observe battery cells and electronic devices in real time to analyse structural changes. This results in a large amound of data, which we evaluate with AI routines.

About Fraunhofer THM
Dr. Ulrike Wunderwald and her team work at the Fraunhofer Technology Center High Performance Materials THM in Freiberg, Germany. The Fraunhofer THM is a research and transfer platform of the Fraunhofer IISB and the Fraunhofer IKTS. Within the framework of industrial contracts and publicly funded projects, semiconductor and energy materials are jointly transferred to new applications, with particular emphasis on future material recycling. One focus of the activities at Fraunhofer THM is the analysis and development of sustainable battery systems with improved life cycle assessment and raw material availability compared to established battery technologies.
