© MEET/Bartling - Unique Cooperation between LG Energy Solution, MEET Battery Research Center and Helmholtz Institute Münster Since the middle of last year, MEET Battery Research Center at the University of Münster and Helmholtz Institute Münster (HI MS) of Forschungszentrum Jülich cooperate with LG Energy Solution (LGES), a leading international manufacturer of battery cells. In joint laboratories in Münster, the three partners conduct research on next-generation batteries. Meanwhile, five dispatchers from South Korea have arrived in Münster and started working with MEET and HI MS researchers. Dr Johannes Kasnatscheew, head of the research division -Materials- at MEET Battery Research Center, and Dr Hyuck Hur, researcher at LGES and scientific coordinator of the cooperation, discuss the current research and the goals of the project. Welcome in Münster. What initial steps have you already taken to launch the joint research? And what is the Status quo? Hyuck Hur: We are currently planning our goals of this year. Each work-package is discussing experimental schedules and things to do. We already took the first steps for developing new and even better lithium-ion batteries. Johannes Kasnatscheew: For this purpose, we have already started initial experiments in collaboration. We are also finishing the stage of agreement, planning and identification in terms of working package specific targets, initial experiments and scientific goals. What are these long-term goals and what is the role of science?
