Circularity in Energy Materials

Motivated by sustainability, we investigate and optimize material synthesis, crystallization, and reversibility pathways of energy materials to enable circular and long-term efficient solutions.

We engineer and optimize emerging materials for solar cells and solid-state electrochemical systems, addressing challenges of instability, toxicity, and end-of-use.

By investigating the fundamental chemistry–structure–property relationships of energy materials, we answer key scientific questions and enable the bottom-up design of improved and more sustainable solutions.

We use and develop in situ, operando, and high-throughput synchrotron X-ray techniques—such as GIWAXS, GISAXS, and XPS—in collaboration with national labs to probe materials at the nano- and atomic scale.
