A research team at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin has achieved a major breakthrough in battery technology. Under the leadership of IRIS Adlershof member Prof. Dr Michael J. Bojdys, an innovative sulfur-based cathode has been developed that enables the use of more environmentally friendly and sustainable materials in lithium-ion batteries. The results of this groundbreaking study were published on 15 April 2024 in the renowned journal Angewandte Chemie.

The new technology, which encapsulates sulfur in a special microporous imine polymer network, not only demonstrates increased battery performance and lifetime, but also addresses the critical problem of resource scarcity in conventional battery materials such as cobalt. “This development could fundamentally change the way we store and use energy and represents an important step towards a more sustainable future,” explained Prof Bojdys.

Prof. Dr Michael J. Bojdys is an expert in the field of sustainable energy materials and, as part of the BMBF's “GreenCHEM” initiative, is helping to transform the chemical industry in the Berlin capital region by combining science and industry to create a circular economy based on sustainable resources.
