Powder Synthesis Partners

BASF is a globally active chemical company. With its innovations in the segments Chemicals, Materials, Industrial Solutions, Surface Technologies, Nutrition & Care and Agricultural Solutions, BASF provides solutions for almost all branches of industry.

BASF is cooperating with Glatt in the development of new materials for solid state batteries, in particular new solid electrolytes.

The working group “Organic Materials and Devices – OMD” at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg is concerned with the development of new, innovative organic and hybrid materials.

Using a Glatt powder synthesis reactor of the ProAPP® type, Prof. Halik’s OMD group is developing coated magnetite nanoparticles for easy extraction of oil from water to combat oil spills.

The Fraunhofer IKTS is a globally recognized research institute for the research and development of high-performance ceramics. With its three locations, the IKTS is the largest research institute for ceramics in Europe.

Together with Glatt, the IKTS develops, tests and optimizes new materials for Li-Ion batteries, including active materials with high voltage and ceramic foils as solid electrolytes for solid state batteries.
