School of Integrative Engineering

Nanomaterials and Electrochemical Energy Design Laboratory

We design and synthesize nanomaterials for electrochemical energy technologies—from fuel cells and water electrolysis to batteries.

Combining thin-film processing with X-ray characterization, we connect material structure with device performance.
