Batteries From Sustainable Materials
We are developing the batteries of the future – high-performance, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
Our research focuses on next-generation technologies made from eco-conscious materials, particularly silicon-air and chloride-ion batteries, which offer multiple times the energy density of current Li-ion systems.

Our research is focused on pioneering post Li-ion battery technologies that leverage sustainable materials to overcome the limitations of existing energy storage systems.
One promising innovation is the alkaline silicon-air battery (SABs), which utilizes abundant, non-toxic Silicium to offer up to 10x the energy density of conventional types. This breakthrough technology presents a powerful, eco-friendly solution for high-performance energy storage. We are also advancing the development of anion-shuttling batteries, particularly room-temperature chloride-ion batteries (CIBs), which use chloride ions instead of lithium. CIBs have a significant potential due to their high theoretical energy density (~2500 Wh/L), making them ideal for a wide range of applications. Unlike lithium, chlorine-based compounds are plentiful and reduce dependence on critical raw materials. Perovskites, with the chemical formula ABX₃, exhibit exceptional properties for battery applications, underscoring the need for focused research to develop perovskite-based electrodes specifically for CIBs.
At JTC, we are overcoming barriers and unlocking the huge potential of sustainable energy storage.

Peer-Workshop: Knowledge transfer – for whom?
At universities and in research funding guidelines, there is a growing expectation that transfer-oriented projects generate societal impact, although the concrete mediation of scientific and practice-related requirements remains unclear. This interdisciplinary workshop offers participants a space to reflect on existing transfer activities, their challenges, and potential contributions to societal change.
