Lab Opening – Our new home in L2|02
2025/02/07
Reception in our new laboratories
The Surface Science Laboratory was able to move a majority of its offices and laboratories to the freshly refurbished C-tower of L2|02 in the past months. The freshly renovated building features not only sufficient space for efficient work but also advanced laboratory infrastructure to enable novel experiments. Meticulous planning for this moment has been ongoing for more then ten years. To celebrate the milestone of having moved entirely and having all instruments running, we invited helpers and collaboration partners alike.

Publication on In vacuo scratching yields undisturbed insight into the bulk of lithium-ion battery positive electrode materials
2024/09/20
Now online
Mellin et. al introduce the method of in vacuo scratching as preparation for XPS measurements of LIB positive electrode materials, which can drastically reduce spectral contaminations and enhance spectral quality, enabling higher information gain.
