KIT - TFT at the International Sodium Battery (SIB) Symposium in Berlin

September 14–16, 2026, Berlin, Germany

Max Brand from the Thin Film Technology (TFT) group at KIT presented a poster about

"Processing of Hard Carbon Anodes for Sodium Ion Batteries" by
Max Brand, Kevin Raczka, Maximilian Hofmann, Sebastian Schabel, Jürgen Fleischer, Frank Rhein, Hermann Nirschl, Philip Scharfer, Wilhelm Schabel

This research is an ongoing joint contribution within KIT of the TFT group and the groups of Prof. Fleischer from wbk and Prof. Nirschl from MVM within the BMFTR-funded project SIB:DE Entwicklung.

Over three days, researchers and industry representatives discussed the latest developments on electrodes and electrolytes for sodium-ion batteries and sodium solid-state batteries

The poster offered a good opportunity to exchange ideas on electrode processing for sodium-ion batteries and on scaling these process steps towards industrial production.
