non-university research institutes in Berlin which are funded by the federal
and state governments. The research institutes are members of the Leibniz
Association.
WIAS has a record of several years of activity in the field of modeling and
numerical simulation of electrochemical systems. As a partner of the
interdisciplinary research network “Perspectives for Rechargeable Magnesium-Air
Batteries“ in the framework of the “Funding Initiative Energy Storage“ of the
German Federal Government WIAS realizes the sub-project “Macroscopic Modeling
of Transport and Reaction Processes in Magnesium-Air batteries”. Within this
project, WIAS offers a
