Welcome to the Energy Materials & Storage Systems (EMS2) group in the Institute for Materials Discovery at the University College London 

We are a dedicated and highly motivated research team focused on creating and developing cutting-edge advanced materials for energy storage systems. Our work spans various energy storage technologies, including Zn-ion batteries, Li-ion batteries, and Metal-ion capacitors. To gain deeper insights into charge storage properties and kinetics, we employ in-situ and operando measurements on advanced energy materials. We are also advancing on-chip energy storage systems, aiming to integrate them into systems-on-a-chip devices that power miniaturized microelectronic devices for wearables and implants, such as micro-robots and micro-sensors. Additionally, our research explores light-accelerated energy storage systems, reflecting our growing interest in powering off-grid IoT devices.
