Materials search for fast charging of solid state batterie

PI: Evan Reed. Co-PI: Brandi Ransom, Eder Lomeli, Materials Science and Engineering, Reed Group

We seek to identify new combinations of solid electrolyte, anode and cathode that mitigate common barriers to fast charging, including interfacial kinetics and mechanical effects.  We will identify the most promising candidates by combing data science methods with chemical, structural, and electronic descriptors of materials that contribute to these properties.   We seek to identify combinations with minimal or no interfacial chemistry, and suitable coatings that can mitigate interfacial chemistry and expand the electrochemical stability window of commonly studied solid electrolytes.
