Research Goals: The need for efficient portable power is extremely important in today’s society and is becoming critically important to many new technologies that will impact consumer electronics and communication, health monitoring, entertainment, environmental oversight, and national security. This IRG seeks to develop the basic science and engineering of materials for solid-state electrochemical power sources, and to use this fundamental knowledge to design devices with energy and power delivery capabilities far superior to those of anything available today.
