Battery and Fuel Cell Technology

Martin Finsterbusch has his expertise in developing ceramic based cells and components for future electrochemical energy conversion and storage. Majoring in Physics and Material Sciences, he pursued his PhD in the field of solid oxide fuel cells, investigating the degradation behavior via synchrotron based analysis methods. Translating the knowledge of ceramic based synthesis and manufacturing into the all solid state batteries field, concepts are  investigated to increase the energy and power density as well as develop scalable synthesis and manufacturing routes in order to enable this technology for commercial application. Starting at new materials and components development and going all the way to full battery cell manufacturing, conventional an in-house developed ceramic synthesis and processing methods are used.
