Guest Lecture Prof. Patrik Johansson

On Thursday, 16 May 2024, Prof. Patrik Johansson, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, held a guest lecture at the Collaborative Research Centre 1415. In his lecture "Practical Modelling of Lithium Battery Electrolytes " he spoke about the possibilities of using computational chemistry and physics to enable the development of better batteries through a better understanding. He presented the model “Smörgåsbord“, which uses this approach for a variety of properties, such as the basics of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and screening of SEI-forming additives. In order to carry out these studies, they even developed their own software, which led to the founding of a successful spin-off company.

The CRC consortium appreciates the scientific talk of Prof. Patrik Johansson and further thanks the audience for their numerous participation on the seminar.
