Research interests

Our research can be largely divided into two main topics:

Electrolytes

Electrolyte formulations with novel components (conductive salts, additives, ionic liquids)
Impact of local structure (including ion solvation) on the electrolyte properties and device performance
Eludication of charge-transport mechanisms

Direct Recycling

Fundamental processes in direct recycling such as electrochemical regeneration of active materials
Understanding the impact of direct recycling processes on material outputs
