Battery Materials and Technologies
The research group of Battery Materials and Technologies, led by associate professor Pekka Peljo, is developing next generation stationary energy storage technologies, mostly based on redox flow batteries. We are an experimental group focusing on discovery of new materials, aided by our collaborators utilizing advanced computational tools, and developing novel testing methods to accelerate materials testing.
Our research areas:
- Stationary energy storage in redox flow batteries
- Understanding charge transfer at interfaces
- Energy storage and conversion
