I am currently working on developing a gel polymer electrolyte for Li-Sulfur batteries. Additionally, I am developing spectro-electrochemical cells for in-situ Raman studies. Moreover, I study the degradation mechanism of sulfide glasses for Li-ion batteries. Finally, I am working on new catalysts to increase the conversion of polysulfides in Li-Sulfur batteries. My daily tasks include maintenance of an MBRAUN and VAC gloveboxes, TA SDQ600 instrument, Arbin battery cyclers, general… Show more I am currently working on developing a gel polymer electrolyte for Li-Sulfur batteries.

The Master’s Course is composed of 3 semesters of classes plus the fourth semester in a Research Laboratory in Europe, USA or Australia for the 6-month Master's Thesis. Core courses include the fundamentals of electrochemistry, materials science, solid-state chemistry and energy storage, materials technology and processing, energy conversion, conducting polymers, synthesis of nanomaterials.

Nowadays, lithium-ion batteries power most electronic devices. There is a growing demand for batteries with higher energy and power and for perfect integration of such batteries into the devices that they power 3D printing would allow not only to fabricate new multidimensional architectures of batteries (possessing better electrochemical performances) but also to built-in such batteries into the powered device. Following some rather promising early results, we aim, in the ANR (French Research… Show more Nowadays, lithium-ion batteries power most electronic devices. There is a growing demand for batteries with higher energy and power and for perfect integration of such batteries into the devices that they power 3D printing would allow not only to fabricate new multidimensional architectures of batteries (possessing better electrochemical performances) but also to built-in such batteries into the powered device. Following some rather promising early results, we aim, in the ANR (French Research Agency) financed IODA (Lithium-ion batteries 3D printing) project, to further develop composite filaments to print whole batteries perfectly integrated in the powered devices, and to create the very first three-dimensional (3D) battery prototypes. The IODA consortium (2021-2025) is composed of 3 academic labs: LRCS, LTI and GEMTEX and 1 industrial partner Nanovia. Show less
