Area - Chemical analysis and structural characterization methods
Developing characterization methods

    The research at MMK addresses important challenges in energy, environment and health. We work for a better world and sustainable society.


    We focus on developing new materials for a sustainable society, employing green synthesis and sustainable processing routes. We develop advanced methodologies for chemical analysis and structural characterisation, including analytical chemistry tools, electron crystallography, different spectroscopic methods and multiscale  modelling.


    The research activities are divided into 10 profile areas, conducted by 26 research groups.

     

    New project "Long LAsting BATtery System"

    Rechargeable batteries are important technological enablers when connecting intermittent solar- and wind power to the electric grid. As the needed number of batteries is huge, it is important that the batteries can function well for a long time and that they can be sustainability produced and recycled. These are the aims of a new European battery development project “LOLABAT” (Long LAsting BATtery System), where our department is one of seventeen partners.
