Zachary Warren is a PhD researcher in Chemistry at the Instituto de Cerámica y Vidrio (ICV-CSIC, Madrid), specializing in solid-state batteries and the liquid-phase synthesis of sulfide solid electrolytes. His research focuses on uncovering reaction mechanisms and intermediates in solution-processed electrolytes using advanced techniques such as in situ Raman spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), NMR, XRD, and quantum chemical calculations. His work aims to develop faster, lower-temperature, and more scalable synthesis routes for next-generation solid-state batteries.

He is the author of several peer-reviewed publications in leading journals including ACS Omega, ACS Electrochemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers, addressing topics such as solution-based synthesis of Li₂S–P₂S₅ systems and real-time vibrational fingerprinting of sulfide electrolyte reactions. His current projects include the ELISA project (CNS2023-145494) on scalable liquid-phase synthesis for electric vehicle batteries and collaborative initiatives focused on sustainable, high-performance all-solid-state battery materials. In parallel, he is a primary inventor on intellectual property involving machine-learning-assisted impedance diagnostics for battery state-of-charge and state-of-health, as well as a patented soluble lithium thiophosphate intermediate enabling instantaneous electrolyte synthesis.
