In this project, links are being established between local chemical variation and the mechanical response of laser-processed metallic alloys and advanced materials.
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.
