Basic research is essential for understanding more precisely the processes at work in batteries and for being able subsequently to suggest specific improvements that lead to more powerful batteries.
Our attention is drawn in particular to the interface between the electrodes (electron conductors) and the electrolytes (ion conductors) since it is at this interface that the most important reactions take place during discharge and charging. The goal is to study the fundamental physical and chemical processes down to the level of individual atoms and molecules. Since real batteries are however too complex for such detailed studies, simplified models that permit the use of highly sensitive microscopic and spectroscopic methods have to be studied. Although these methods require work to be performed in a vacuum, they do produce experimental results that can be linked well to the theoretical calculations for elementary processes performed by colleagues at HIU.
