Professor at the HU Department of Chemistry, member of the CSMB, and co-spokesperson of the Berlin Battery Lab: Philipp Adelhelm © WISTA Management GmbH In an article from the latest issue of the Adlershof Journal, the newly founded Berlin Battery Lab (BBL) takes center stage. This initiative combines the expertise of the German Federal Institute for Materials Research […]

Innovative research has brought us closer to sustainable battery technology with a breakthrough in sulfur-based cathodes. Traditionally, lithium-ion batteries — central to electronics and electric vehicles — rely on scarce materials like cobalt. Sulfur offers a greener alternative due to its abundance and impressive theoretical capacity of 1675 mAh g-1. A major challenge with sulfur

Materializing the future: CSMB Opening Ceremony The Center for the Science of Materials Berlin (CSMB) celebrated its opening with a diverse program. Following warm welcomes from HU-president Julia von Blumenthal, Bernd Rech (HZB), Jan Lüning (IGAFA) and our director Stefan Hecht, the guided tours through the research building were particularly in high demand. There, scientists

Monolayers like vinylene 2D-polymers are significant because they offer a unique combination of material properties and can be used in various advanced applications, from electronics to photonics. Filippo and colleagues have achieved a significant breakthrough in materials science by successfully creating a single-layered nanomaterial called VL-2D-SCOF-1. He accomplished this through a new process called on-surface
