CESET research missions span across disciplines that involve electrochemical processes.
Major current research areas include:
- Energy Storage and battery science, including new materials, and interface, and devices engineering, for durable, low-cost, recyclable, energy-dense, and rapid-charging electrical energy storage
- Electrolyzer devices engineering for scalable low-cost hydrogen, carbon-based fuels, commodities, and fine chemicals production from renewable electricity
- High and intermediate temperature electrochemical systems for lowering emissions and improving the efficiency of industrial processes
- The bioelectronic interface: modelling, sensing, and controlling interactions between chemically precise electrodes and biological matter like neurons
- Fuel cell devices for high-power mobile clean electricity generation
- Fundamental studies of ion and electron-transfer at reactive electrochemical interfaces
- Fundamental studies of the electrified water-solid interface, including the development of state of the art computational models
- Electrocatalysis and interfacial materials design
- Polymers and ionomers in solid-state electrolytes
- Durability science and corrosion in electrochemical technology
- Theory and computation of electrochemical interfaces using quantum calculations, machine learning, and molecular dynamics
