When will the Solid-state Battery Arrive?

Interview with Prof. Hartmut Wiggers

A crucial strategic component in tomorrow's car is the battery. Solid-state or solid-state batteries promise tremendous progress for their performance. How can the development of solid-state batteries be assessed after the announcements of QuantumScape, Samsung or Toyota?

Prof. Hartmut Wiggers, Materials Chain member, head of the research group "Nanoparticle Synthesis" at the University of Duisburg-Essen and member of the Battery Research Group, talked to Prof. Ferdinand Dudenhöffer about this question in the video.

It should be a small foretaste, because on September 15 and 16, 2021, the Battery Day will take place in Braunschweig for the first time. The event evolves from the Car Symposium in Bochum, but will continue as an independent congress on battery materials and cell production capacities in 2021. Various companies will report there on their activities and products in battery systems and electric drives.
