Liquid-Metal Battery for Massive Energy Storage:
We are developing a novel large-scale energy storage device that operates at elevated temperature (>300 o C) with a molten-salt electrolyte.
We are currently seeking hardworking researchers with experience in ceramics, electrochemistry, or high-temperature physical chemistry.

Molten Oxide Electrolysis (MOE):
The world's steel industry is one of the major anthropogenic sources of CO 2 emissions. Molten oxide electrolysis offers the prospect of producing steel with a substantial reduction in carbon intensity and with the only by-product being pure oxygen. This project also works closely with NASA to develop a scalable method to produce oxygen on the moon from lunar regolith (soil).
We are looking for people with good work ethic, and experience in electrochemistry, ceramics, or relevant high-temperature fields.

High performance electrolytes for energy storage:
Energy storage devices (batteries, ultracapacitors, etc.) typically have electronically insulating electrolytes with high ionic conductivities. This project is focused on developing selection rules for electrolyte compositions tailored for the specific application proposed. We are looking to better understand the limitations of standard electrolytes and the source of those limitations. This would then allow heuristic development of electrolytes for high voltage, high temperature and other novel applications.
We are seeking researchers with expertise in organic and synthetic chemistry with a desire to work in the energy field.
