This research program focuses on fundamental studies of advanced materials targeted for electrochemical energy systems. Specifically metal/metal-alloy nanoparticles, advanced carbon materials as well as combinations of metals nanoparticles with these carbons. Such materials are at the heart of numerous electrochemical energy technologies, including fuel cells, electrolyzers and electrochemical/super capacitors. These technologies have the potential to be more widely deployed in the energy landscape provided that improvements can be made in the performance-to-cost ratio of the materials, and also in their durability. In addition to improvements in the materials themselves, improvements are needed in diagnostic tools that can readily assess multiple indicators of the electrode state-of-health.

该研究计划侧重于电化学能源系统先进材料的基础研究。特别是金属/金属合金纳米颗粒、先进碳材料以及金属纳米颗粒与这些碳的组合。此类材料是众多电化学能源技术的核心，包括燃料电池、电解槽和电化学/超级电容器。如果能够提高材料的性能成本比及其耐用性，这些技术就有可能在能源领域得到更广泛的应用。除了材料本身的改进之外，还需要改进诊断工具，以便可以轻松评估电极健康状态的多个指标。
