About this Research Topic
Enabling next generation fuel cells and batteries would require ability to design and control interfacial processes, such as reactivity of catalyst layer and formation of solid electrolyte interphase layers. The buried nature of these interfaces with intertwined reactions arising from multitude of constituents make them a challenge to probe, delineate and predict the critical processes.
This research topic will bring frontier research advancements across multiple disciplines related to energy storage and conversion devices to focus on topics including, but not limited to:
• Prediction of interfacial reactions in energy devices such as batteries, fuel cells, and electrolyzers
• In situ/operando experimental techniques to determine interfacial processes, products, and mechanisms
• New materials and interfacial engineering to improve the resiliency and reliability of energy devices
• Multiscale modelling and multimodal analysis of interfacial processes that alter interfacial reactivity and device performance
