Strategic Objectives
• Decode the chemical evolution of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase.
• Master interfacial engineering techniques to extend cycle life.
• Understand the mechanics of surface stability versus bulk properties.
• Navigate the complex thermodynamics of electrode-electrolyte boundaries.
The Core Challenge
Battery failure and degradation are often dictated by a microscopic layer thinner than a human hair, yet poorly understood by many.
