Process chain for the development of new battery cells

IWS Dresden scientists focus their research on electromobility and stationary energy storage systems. Thanks to its know-how and the large variety of manufacturing technologies, the IWS team can essentially contribute to battery development processes and innovations in many areas of the process chain. The Center for Battery Research at IWS has been established to be capable to support enterprises with solutions today and in the future.

IWS services the complete process chain for the development of new battery cells with a focus on material, surface and laser technologies.
