Research topics :

• Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC), Solid Oxide Electrolyzers (SOEC) and Advanced Batteries: Materials, Processing, Device and Electrochemistry: We have capabilities to fabricate and test planar and microtubular single cells and expertise in ion conducting materials research. We investigate the performance of oxide materials and composites as electrolytes or electrodes in batteries, SOFCs and SOECs; acting on their microstructure, synthesis of materials and cell fabrication procedures.
