Number: MER0003UCA In the field of corporate research & development in the team ''Cell Material Analytics & Fluids'' at Untertürkheim, special methods for improving the fast charging of batteries are developed. The rapid charging of lithium-ion batteries can lead to various problems, such as lithium plating, degradation of the electrode materials and increased heat development. These effects can reduce the battery life and impair safety. The aim of this master thesis is to develop and optimize a specific method for improving the fast charging behavior in order to minimize these negative effects. The focus is on experimental work.

These challenges come to you: Electromobility is a central component for a sustainable future.

One of the challenges is the charging time of batteries

In order to further increase the acceptance of electric vehicles, the development of high-speed charging technologies is crucial

This master thesis offers the opportunity to make an important contribution to the further development of battery technologies and to explore innovative solutions for the quick charging. The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us. The activity can start from January 2026 and lasts 6 months.
