Toward better motors with X-ray light
Making Switzerland's road traffic fit for the future calls for research, first and foremost. In the large-scale research facilities of PSI, chemists and engineers are investigating how to improve the efficiency of motors and reduce their emissions.
SWISS BATTERY DAYS 2023
Comment réduire la quantité de cobalt dans les batteries des voitures électriques?
L'électrification des transports est en augmentation. Cela signifie que davantage de batteries sont nécessaires. Cependant, certaines d'entre elles contiennent une matière première extrêmement problématique : le cobalt. Le PSI recherche des alternatives.

About EMF
The electron microscopy facility (EMF) at PSI is presently sustained by three divisions: the divisions for Biology and Chemistry (BIO; chair of EMF), for Nuclear Energy and Safety Research (NES) and for Energy and Environment (ENE).
Quartz powder for the battery of the future
PSI materials researchers have developed a method that provides crucial insights into the charging and discharging processes of lithium-sulphur batteries. And the method revealed: with quartz powder added to the battery, its available energy increases and the gradual loss of capacity is much weaker.
