The Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Energy Materials Group is led by Prof. Carlo Segre from the Department of Physics (Duchossois Leadership Professor) and Dr. Elena Timofeeva, Research Professor in the Department of Chemistry. The complementary expertise enables scientific pursuits in cutting edge interdisciplinary projects. We develop and investigate of new functional materials for battery cathodes and anodes, catalysts for fuel cells, nanofluid flow batteries and other functional nanocomposites. We use in situ and ex situ x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques to study material’s structure and transformations, revealing the reaction mechanisms and ways to improve the performance.
The purpose of this KZbin channel is to share our research with the broader community and to engage in discussion and collaborations with other research groups and interested individuals. Contact us:
