Research lines Research Line 1 - Lithium-ion batteries: Increasing device chemistry efficiency. The main objective of this line of research is to increase the efficiency, energy density, power capabilities, cost and reduce environmental impact of lithium-ion batteries. We aim at improve the integration between cell components to extract the maximum performance of these devices, while minimising cost and environmental impact. Development of novel cathodes, anodes and matching electrolyte formulations is performed with in-situ/operando electrochemical methods, in order to investigate, and then eliminate, cell inefficiencies. Research Line 2 - Lithium-air batteries: Development of new electrodes with increased functionality. The main objective of this line of research is based on the development of lithium-air batteries with greater energy density, fast charging and discharging, and durability. This work focuses on the design, synthesis and characterization of electrodes with increased oxygen absorption capacity, as well as their integration into lithium-air batteries.
