The Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials (MPI-SusMat) is a Düsseldorf-based Max Planck Society research institute focused on materials science, metallurgy and sustainable materials engineering. Originally founded in 1917 and renamed in 2023, MPI-SusMat runs the Chemo-Mechanics of Battery Materials group whose July 2026 Nature paper identified the exact mechanical mechanism by which soft lithium dendrites fracture ceramic solid electrolytes and cause solid-state battery failure.
