Prof. Ernst Rank and the TUM-IAS team invite the scientists of TUM and their guests for coffee each Wednesday! Just come over to the TUM-IAS after lunch between 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. and have a coffee with us, meet other scientists and listen from time to time to a short talk (10-15 mins) on a recent major TUM publication or issue – aimed specifically at a non-expert audience.
On May 30, 2018, Dr. Ralph Gilles (Research Neutron Source FRM II) will talk about the use of neutrons to analyze the filling of lithium ion batteries for hybrid cars with electrolytes. Experiments show that electrodes are wetted twice as fast in a vacuum as under normal pressure (TUM press release).
Relevant Publication:

Gilles, “ Visualization of electrolyte filling process and influence of vacuum during filling for hard case prismatic lithium ion cells by neutron imaging to optimize the production process”, Journal of Power Sources, Volume 380, 15 March 2018, Pages 126–134,
