In this podcast you will learn how chemistry
improves the efficiency of lithium ion batteries.
In comparison to other battery types, lithium-ion batteries have 
some major advantages. For one, they are the most efficient battery 
on the market right now. In order to make a decisive improvement on 
today's technology, BASF, together with other companies, is investing
in further research and development of lithium-ion batteries. High 
performance, low weight and a fast charge up - if these plus points 
can be developed and expanded even further, then the lithium-ion 
battery really will be the energy store of the future and a key 
technology for climate friendly mobile and stationary energy supplies
as well.
BASF Corporate Communications started a regular bilingual Podcast 
service in April 2007 to report on BASF's innovations and research 
and development activities in an easy-to-understand, informative and 
entertaining way.
Listen to the audio reportage with Dr. Philipp Hanefeld (Senior 
Manager Batteries at BASF Future Business), Dr. Klaus Leitner 
(Research coordinator Electrochemical Processes BASF) and Dr. 
Prashant Chintawar (Senior Manager BASF Future Business, Somerset, 
New Jersey).
