Novel nanoscale electrode materials

Renewable energy is among Canada's current strategic plans, yet the ability to store this energy is an underdeveloped area. Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) store more energy per volume than any other portable rechargeable battery. However, the energy density of future LIB will only improve significantly through radical changes to its active materials. My Discovery Grant research program concentrates on improving electrode materials using nanomaterials prepared through innovated synthetic approaches as they offer improved electrochemical properties, which leads to higher rate and more power.
