Durability of Surfaces and Interfaces


Conn Center is utilizing a number of in-situ and in-operando techniques to obtain the necessary fundamental understanding of the durability of various materials and interfaces used in our conversion and storage devices. Most importantly, the Conn Center researchers are developing standardized approaches for understanding long term durability for electrocatalysts; solar cells and li-ion materials and also various fundamental descriptors that can be used for predicting long term durability.
