Journal: Chemistry of Materials
Bio
I am postdoctoral researcher in the Energy Storage and Conversion Group. My research interests mainly focus on exploring inorganic syntheses of solid-state electrolytes and cathode materials, investigating the effect of using different precursors in solid-state synthesis as well utilizing other methods including sol-gel, solution-based syntheses and combustion synthesis. In addition, I use X-ray and neutron diffraction and total scattering to elucidate the long-range and local structures of inorganic materials in order to understand their structure-property relationships.
