On April 28, all project teams from the B@TS funding initiative gathered to share updates on their progress and discuss new developments in battery technology.

On April 28, 2026, our colleague Maximilian Luczak attended this year’s B@TS status meeting, of which DELFIN is a part. Over the course of two days, all project teams came together to share updates on current progress and discuss new developments in the field of battery technology.

During the meeting, we presented DELFIN in a short talk. Together with our project partners from the University of Giessen, the University of Ulm, and RJL, we provided an insight into our work on all-solid-state batteries, or ASSBs for short.

DELFIN stands for “Digital Electrode Design for Solid-State Batteries.” The goal of this collaborative project is to advance digital approaches for the development of all-solid-state batteries. To achieve this, we combine microstructure modeling, machine learning, and performance simulation. In this way, we aim to better understand structure-property relationships and derive concrete design recommendations for more powerful batteries.

Such meetings are particularly valuable to us: They not only offer the opportunity to present our own work but also facilitate exchange with other exciting projects in battery technology. Especially in a research field where many technological approaches are not yet economically viable, cooperation and continuous research remain crucial.

The common goal is clear: to make battery technologies more competitive and thereby contribute to future energy storage solutions.
Having already attended last year, we are pleased to have continued this exchange this year as well. At the same time, we are already working on follow-up projects to help shape the next steps toward sustainable battery technologies.
