Welcome to the Electrochemistry Laboratory (ECL).

The Electrochemistry Laboratory is part of the General Energy Research Department at the Paul Scherrer Institute. It is dedicated to modern aspects of electrochemical energy storage and conversion - especially in conjunction with sustainable mobility. The aim of our research is the development of novel batteries, capacitors and fuel cells for electric vehicles and portable devices.

The Electrochemistry Laboratory provides expertise and innovative solutions in the fields of batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, electrolysis, electrocatalysis, electrochemical material science, and modern methods for electrochemical interface analysis.

Within the framework of our activities, collaborations with universities and industry have been established. Our activities are partly supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (BFE), the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI), the Swiss Science Foundation (SNF), the Board of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology (BSIT), Projekt- und Studienfonds der Elektrizitätswirtschaft (PSEL), as well as some industrial partners.
