Scientific and technical advances in energy storage through fundamental chemistry and engineering experimentation framed by specific applications is our overall research paradigm. Prior industrial experience in Battery Research and Development enables development of application-relevant testing methodologies to evaluate our experimental outcomes.
Our research goals center on new material and electrode concepts for high power, high energy density, extended life primary and secondary batteries. Our comprehensive research approach is necessitated by the complex nature of battery science and technology, and is facilitated by collaborations with the E. Takeuchi and K. Takeuchi research groups. Specifically, synthesis, characterization, and electrochemistry of solid state metal oxide and phosphate active materials is a focus area (Figure 1)1, with an emphasis on facile ion insertion and deinsertion via control of critical structural and physical materials properties.2 Further, in collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory, in-situ and in-operando measurements of some of our battery systems have yielded mechanistic insight into some of the complex chemical and physical processes associated with battery discharge (Figure 2).3 Complementing our the battery materials studies, we have developed new electrode design engineering which reduces passive components and minimizes interfacial resistance.4
Emerging battery technologies are also of interest. Metal air batteries offer the opportunity for unprecedented energy density improvements, but require catalysts to address the slow kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode. Conventional air electrode fabrication strategies position the catalyst particles within the interior of the electrode, limiting catalyst access to oxygen. We have developed a novel electrodeposition method which generates a conductive composite electrode incorporating a conductive polymer and silver metal catalyst.5,6 This fabrication method positions the catalyst particles on the exterior of the electrode, providing facile access to oxygen. We have demonstrated high oxygen reduction activity (Figure 3) with low silver loading and have fabricated planar and three dimensionally structured electrodes using this approach (Figure 4).7 Further mechanistic studies are currently underway.
