All our research topics.
By measuring different transport parameters, such as ionic conductivity, Li+ transference number under anion-blocking conditions and salt diffusion coefficient, we characterize the ion correlations of concentrated liquid electrolytes for battery applications.
For a better understanding of solid-state batteries, we investigate the forming interfaces in different types of solid-state batteries.
The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is a passivation layer on the graphite anode of lithium-ion batteries. Ion, molecule and electron transport across the SEI is not well understood up to now. Therefore, we form SEIs on planar model electrodes, and we characterize their morphology and transport properties.
AFM-based electrochemical techniques are well suited for characterizing the electrochemical properties of materials at the nanoscale level. We are using such techniques for characterizing the electrochemical properties of composite electrodes for solid-state batteries.
