Functional Coating of Cathode Materials in Lithium-Ion Batteries
Energy transition and internet of things are essential questions of today’s society and won’t work within the limits of silicon high-power technology. New materials, such as (Al,Ga)N/GaN, show a substantially enhanced efficiency compared to conventional silicon technology and are commercially available already. Nevertheless, recently published results on (Al,Sc)N HEMT structures show the potential for even more enhanced devices.

Hydrogen H2 – Direct Water Splitting
Hydrogen, the fuel of the future will step by step replace fossil fuels, and if generated using truly renewable energy sources it will play a crucial role in reducing the global carbon footprint. However, up to date the generation of green hydrogen is very costly and inefficient. A promising pathway is the direct water splitting using dedicated solar cells with additional functional layers to allow the electrolysis without an external electrolyzer.

Phase-Change Material for Memory Application
Phase-change materials are a fascinating class of materials showing at least two stable phases. Huge differences in material properties between the two phases enable saving information depending on the current phase. This non-volatile saving mechanism and the enhanced switching speed compared to NAND devices combining the best of RAM- and NAND technology makes phase-change materials an exciting research field for memory application.
