Circularity in Energy Materials

 Bridging fundamental understanding and device sustainability

Research overview

Circularity

Motivated by sustainability, we investigate and optimize the synthesis and recovery pathways of energy materials to enable circular and energy-efficient solutions.
Energy Conversion

We engineer and optimize emerging materials for solar cells and solid-state electrochemical systems, addressing challenges of instability, toxicity, and waste.
Fundamentals

By investigating the fundamental chemistry–structure–property relationships of energy materials, we answer key scientific questions and enable the bottom-up design of improved and more sustainable solutions.
Advanced Characterization

We use and develop in situ, operando, and high-throughput synchrotron X-ray techniques—such as GIWAXS, GISAXS, and XPS—in collaboration with national labs to probe materials at the nano- and atomic scale.
