➀ International research highlights lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) as next-gen energy storage with 10x higher energy density than lithium-ion batteries and ultra-fast charging potential (as low as 12 minutes);

➁ Technical challenges include sulfur insulation, cathode expansion, and lithium dendrite growth, addressed through optimized materials (3D carbon structures, catalytic additives) and AI-driven design;

➂ Multi-national collaboration demonstrates prototypes achieving 2 mAh/cm² at practical charging speeds, supported by EU and Asian research funds for future e-mobility applications.

➀ The increasing share of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates a growing need for skilled professionals in the field.

➁ Vocational school teachers from across Bavaria are being trained at the Hochschule Coburg to keep up with the latest technology in EVs.

➂ The training focuses on various aspects such as motor types, cooling systems, and energy management, with hands-on experience and guest lectures from industry experts.

➀ The Ruhr-University Bochum and Vonovia are developing a project called EMSiQ which aims to create a sustainable energy management system in an intelligent residential area using renewable energy sources.

➁ The project integrates solar power, heat pumps, and electric mobility solutions to reduce the pressure on public power grids and minimize costs for residents.

➂ The project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection with around 2.9 million euros over four years.
