Currently I'm investigating electrode and electrolyte materials in the form of thin films for their use in micro-solid oxide cells (µSOC) within the framework of the European project Harvestore. These µSOCs have the potential to power the next technological revolution, the internet of things (IoT). However, some mayor steps still needs to be undertaken to enable a straight forward implementation of these cells.
I am particularily interested in the oxygen exchange activity of cathode materials at intermediate temperatures, the influences of surface defects and macroscropic effects within the bulk.
We use several different techniques, as in situ electrical conductivtiy and operando Raman measurements, as well as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to gain a thorough understanding of oxide thin films in and close to operation conditions.
