In our research we are focused on the synthesis of new materials that display functional properties when applied into electrochemical energy storage devices. We take our inspiration from self-organized systems composed of a few or many components. The focus is on the control of the structures at the nanometer scale by using the tools offered by low- and high- voltage electrochemistry. One of the most recognizable examples is nanotubular system formed on metals such as titanium and iron. Beyond nanostructures formation, we seek to impart a variety of functions in functional materials including lithiation/delithiation, proton conduction, damage detection, self-healing, anti-corrosion, and light harvesting. Our research is highly interdisciplinary represented from a variety of scientific disciplines including, chemistry, engineering and physics.
