Interests

Interfacial phenomena / aging mechanisms in M-ions batteries Development of sample preparation for surface analysis Development of in situ / operando methods for surface analysis
💡 My Research
My research activity lies between the fundamental and applied fields with a focus on interfacial phenomena that govern the M-ion and solid-state batteries performance. In particular, I developed innovative cross-section preparation and in situ/operando analysis to study the buried interfaces of solid-state batteries. I also developed an approach to combine XPS with GC/MS/FTIR to further understand parasitic reaction at the interfaces of M-ion batteries with an emphasis on the emerging K-ion batteries.
