Rethinking batteries - with aluminium
Energy storage systems of the future must be cost-effective and sustainable. To achieve this, it is crucial that the materials used are both readily available and recyclable. A research team at TU Bergakademie Freiberg has now made significant progress in the development of an aluminium battery that meets these requirements. The battery consists of aluminium as the anode, graphite as the cathode and a new type of polymer-based electrolyte developed at the university. The validation of the battery prototype for industrial production will be funded by the Saxon Ministry of Economic Affairs and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) until the end of next year.

TUBAF develops fire service app for Saxony-Anhalt
The TU Bergakademie Freiberg (TUBAF) has already developed a deployment app for the fire services in Saxony and Thuringia as part of a long-standing research collaboration. Jens Then, Chancellor of TUBAF, has now signed a contract with the Ministry of the Interior and Sport of Saxony-Anhalt. The fire brigades there will also receive an app from December 2024. "This will support firefighters at the scene of an emergency and on the way there," explains Professor Bastian Pfleging, head of the development team at TUBAF. The app offers a wide range of information such as vehicle rescue data sheets, a hazardous materials database, hydrant maps, a document library and respiratory protection monitoring for the emergency services.
