Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage (EECS)

Research Overview

Our goal is to create groundbreaking electrochemical technologies that support a sustainable energy future. We take an interdisciplinary approach, integrating principles from chemical engineering, materials science, electrochemistry, organic chemistry, mechanical engineering, and economics to develop innovative materials, processes, and devices that leverage electrochemical phenomena. We focus on comprehending and managing the fundamental mechanisms that influence the performance, cost, and longevity of current and future electrochemical systems. Currently, our research emphasizes solid oxide cells for the production of carbon-neutral chemicals and lithium-ion batteries for grid-scale storage.
