Matteo Bianchini´s group at UBT

The group of Prof. Bianchini at the University of Bayreuth is part of the Bavarian Center for Battery Technology (BayBatt). The group focuses in particular on the atomic scale properties of electrode materials for Li-ion batteries and next-generation Na-ion, K-ion and solid-state batteries. It tackles the design of new materials, their synthesis and structural and electrochemical characterization. Known inorganic electrode materials are also investigated to improve their synthesis and properties. In situ and operando characterization techniques, often at large-scale research facilities, are heavily employed for this purpose.
