Anodised aluminium surfaces are characterised by their protective, ceramic-like oxide layer, which can, however, show fine cracks, so-called microcracks, in certain situations. These microcracks often only become visible when the light falls at an angle, whereas they are barely noticeable when viewed directly. They are an indicator of mechanical or thermal stresses on the surface […]

A-STEAM: Energy storage and decarbonisation through aluminium

Benedikt Wolter — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 11:55:44 +0000

To enable the energy transition, it must be possible to store renewable energy efficiently and on a large scale. Recently, scientists have increasingly investigated metals as carbon-free chemical energy storage systems. The A-STEAM project now focuses on aluminium as a potential alternative energy source. The research project, led by Professor Christian Hasse, will receive around […]
