Conducting research for a changing society:
this is what drives us at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helmholtz Association, we aim to tackle the grand societal challenges of our time and conduct interdisciplinary research into a digitalized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a sustainable economy. Work together with some 7,600 employees in one of Europe's biggest research centres and help us to shape change!
At the Institute of Energy Technologies – Fundamentals of Electrochemistry (IET‑1), we conduct research on highly topical issues relating to the energy transition and structural change. For example, we are working on the battery of the future and researching novel battery concepts. Another exciting project we are working on is how to turn the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO₂) from a climate killer into a raw material of the future. The aim of our research and development work is to develop cost-effective batteries, fuel cells and electrolysers with improved energy and power density, longer service life and maximum safety! Hydrogen production based on renewable energy sources using high- and low-temperature electrolysis is becoming increasingly important for us.
