NanoArchitectures and Interfaces for Electrochemical Energy Storage

Our group tackles energy-related challenges by advancing electrochemical storage technologies, leveraging expertise in materials science. We develop electrode materials with controlled microstructure and surface chemistry, and study chemical and transport phenomena at the device level. Current research focuses on sustainable materials and aqueous chemistries, especially zinc-based and flow batteries, with the aim of improving reversibility through fundamental electrochemical control. Key strategies include porous electrode design for optimal wetting and catalytic function, use of coatings, electrolyte additives, and advanced characterization techniques, including synchrotron methods. Flow cell architectures expand our work from mobility applications to scalable, stationary storage.
