Nicholls, Rebecca - University of Oxford

研究领域

My research is focused on understanding and improving the properties of functional materials, with an emphasis on energy applications. I use advanced electron microscopy and quantum mechanical simulations to predict and study the structure and chemistry of materials at the nanoscale. This information is then used to understand the macroscopic properties of these materials, leading to improvements in existing systems and the design of new materials. My main areas of current research include: The combination of electron microscopic techniques (EELS, STEM) with modelling (density functional theory, development of software) Carbon nanomaterials, including doped graphene and nanotubes Transparent conducing oxides Materials used in nuclear applications, such as zirconia Catalysts for use in fuel cells
