A new building for the Center for Energy and Environmental Chemistry (CEEC Jena II) and an associated application center (AWZ CEEC Jena) is being constructed on the Chemistry Campus of Friedrich Schiller University Jena (FSU). The new building offers optimal conditions for research on innovative concepts for new batteries, printed solar cells and integrated facades for energy conversion. CEEC Director Prof. Dr. Ulrich S. Schubert's declared goal is, among other things, to develop safe and sustainable batteries that do not require vanadium, cobalt or rare earths. The critical materials are replaced by environmentally friendly alternatives made of ceramics, plastics (polymers), glass or carbons that are available in Europe.
In practice, it is two research buildings under one roof. The achitectural concept addresses this particularity and combines the theoretical aspect of CEEC II with the practical reference of the application center within one building. The centers share a common entrance with adjacent forum, which forms the so-called "Center of Gravity" of the design.
The proposed location of the new research center is northwest of Jena's city center, in close proximity to the Jena University Hospital. The new building will be constructed between existing FSU buildings on a plot of land that will be cleared of older buildings for this purpose.
The CEEC Jena II will house various special and synthesis laboratories as well as measuring rooms, characterization and practical laboratories. Office space for the scientific staff as well as storage areas and workshops are also part of the planning. In addition, highly installed laboratories with areas for transmission electron microscopes and a pilot plant are to be built in the application center. In terms of content, macromolecular chemistry, materials research , electrochemistry, physical chemistry, applied mineralogy and cosmochemistry in particular will form the central focus of research in the newly constructed institute buildings, where work will be carried out on promising concepts for new battery systems, solar cells and integrated components.
