Research Interests

My research currently focuses on adapting rapid spray plasma processing (RSPP) techniques developed for the production of solar cells to the rapid production of high quality ultra-thin LLZO electrolyte. LLZO is a promising nonflammable ceramic material for battery applications that shows low reactivity with lithium metal, opening the path to a lithium metal battery with high Lithium conductivity and low electronic conductivity.
