Interfaces and interphases in solid-state batteries
We are leveraging our expertise of electroanalytical methods for the characterization of solid-solid interfaces in solid-state batteries. To mitigate the challenges of contact resistances, we are characterizing ion transport and electrochemical reactivity of hybrid systems (solid electrolyte|liquid electrolyte and solid electrolyte|polymer electrolyte).
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as a core method
Although equally powerful as cyclic voltammetry, the implementation of EIS as an electroanalytical method remains underexplored. We are working with model interfaces to remove the "black magic box" aura of EIS and highlight its advantages to traditional time-domain methods for applications ranging from electrocatalysis to electrosynthesis.
