Researchers are working hard to create more powerful batteries for electric mobility. Solid-state batteries are one approach because they enable significantly extended range and are safer. Evonik has developed a building block for polymer electrolytes that could overcome the disadvantages of existing solid-state batteries

3D Printing
A Smart Solution
How can chemical reactions be carried out as sustainably and efficiently as possible? A team from Evonik is researching this question in cooperation with external partners and taking advantage of the possibilities of 3D printing

Membranes
Enter Macbeth
Until recently, catalytic membrane reactors have only been able to demonstrate their performance in laboratories, but now they are about to take the stage in a starring role

Climate Protection
Carbon2Chem: Raw materials from exhaust gases
Using the emissions of the steel industry to produce plastics: That’s the longterm
goal of Evonik and its partners in the collaborative project Carbon2Chem. To reach this goal, they are working with higher alcohols such as ethanol—and catalysts that are being developed in Hanau.

Direct Synthesis
A fantastic shortcut
The more efficient reactions are, the more sustainable chemistry becomes. Working together with partners from the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis, a group of researchers at Evonik have recently achieved a notable feat—the direct production of the important industrial chemical adipic acid. This breakthrough was even showcased in an article in the journal Science

Circularity
Reusing Rubber
To date, most of the main component of old car tires can hardly be used for the production of new ones. One of the reasons for this is that vulcanization, which is important in the formation of rubber, cannot simply be reversed. That’s why Evonik is researching a technology that makes more end-of-life tire material fit for reuse
