Chemical studies of new materials for electrochemical energy systems
FY 2014-15
Summary
This research program focuses on fundamental studies of novel materials for electrochemical energy systems. The materials include inorganic-organic hybrid materials based on siloxane copolymers formed through sol-gel chemistry as well as surface functionalized carbon materials. Such materials have potential applications in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and biosensors. This research seeks to design materials with enhanced properties and providing new insights into the factors that impact structure and performance. Key parameters of interest include conductivity, electrochemically active surface area, catalytic activity and performance.
