This project targets to exploit or develop new methodologies to not only visualize the 3D morphology but also measure chemical distribution of as-synthesized nanostructures using atom probe tomography.
The mission of our group is to uncover the fundamental mechanisms of deformation and degradation in battery systems and to leverage mechanical principles to design damage-resilient energy storage systems.
Here the focus lies on investigating the temperature dependent deformation of material interfaces down to the individual microstructural length-scales, such as grain/phase boundaries or hetero-interfaces, to understand brittle-ductile transitions in deformation and the role of chemistry or crystallography on it.
The group aims at unraveling the inner workings of ion batteries, with a focus on probing the microstructural and interfacial character of electrodes and electrolytes that control ionic transport and insertion into the electrode.
The full potential of energy materials can only be exploited if the interplay between mechanics and chemistry at the interfaces is well known. This leads to more sustainable and efficient energy solutions.
