Towards ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of proton and electron transfer processes. Electrochemical technologies seek design capabilities to enable the discovery of novel electrolytes with valuable properties. This project will develop new advanced computational methods to understand electron and proton transfer in electrolytes and thereby allow us to enhance performance of electrochemical devices and control metal deposition.
Smart utilisation of cobaltite based electrodes on solid oxide fuel cells. This project aims to develop solid oxide fuel cell technologies with significantly simplified fabrication steps and at low cost. It aims to generate fundamental knowledge on the polarisation induced electrode/electrolyte interfaces under fuel cell operation conditions. The advanced fuel cell technologies will in turn substantially increase the energy conversion efficiency and provide significant benefit in the reduction o ....Smart utilisation of cobaltite based electrodes on solid oxide fuel cells.
