Schwietert, T.K. (author)
Solid-state batteries have the promise to outperformconventional Li-ion batteries. Solid electrolytes are safer, as the solids used are generally not combustible, and especially if Li-metal anodes are enabled, higher energy densities can be obtained. However, solidstate batteries still have challenges to overcome. In this thesis the origins of...

Narayan, N.S. (author)
Almost a billion people globally lack access to electricity. For various reasons, grid extension is not an immediately viable solution for the un(der-) electrified communities. As most of these electricity-starved regions lie in tropical latitudes, the use of off-grid solar-based solutions like solar home systems (SHS) is a logical approach....
