Our SOLSTICE project partner SENSICHIPS has published a journal article entitled “On the Usage of Battery Equivalent Series Resistance for Shuntless Coulomb Counting and SOC Estimation” in MDPI Batteries. In this paper, a feasibility study of a shuntless coulomb counting method for estimating the state of charge of a battery…

The 3rd SOLSTICE Consortium Meeting took place from 18th to 19th April 2023 at the EMPA campus in Dübendorf, Switzerland. With a participation of 36 project members, the meeting was a huge success with intense discussions and a high level of interaction during six workshops and four status presentations.

SOLSTICE wishes its project members, friends and the whole SOLSTICE community a merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and successful New Year 2023!

Our SOLSTICE project member Paolo Personnettaz from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf successfully defended his PhD entitled „Simulations of Mass Transport in Liquid Metal Electrodes“. Congratulations to Paolo!

From November 15th to November 16th, the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge offers an Open for Business event in collaboration with SOLSTICE. The two-day workshop (https://gateway.newton.ac.uk/event/ofbw53) aims to bring together scientists working on liquid metal batteries with end users from industry (Photo: HZDR / S. Landgraf).

A group of „working professionals“ students from the McCombs School of Business (https://www.mccombs.utexas.edu) visited the liquid metal battery lab at HZDR in frame of their international business trip and got an overview of SOLSTICE. Thanks for the interest and for the lively discussion! (Photo: HZDR / M. Giebel).

The SOLSTICE battery concept has been presented on the 5th networking event on energy innovations in Eastern Germany by Dr. Norbert Weber.

The 2nd SOLSTICE Consortium Meeting took place from 26th to 28th April 2022 at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. In total, 22 project members participated in the meeting on site and 18 participants attended online. During four technical workshops, the team discussed the current progress as well as open questions and…
