| Description | So far, I have two papers published in sister fields (solid oxide ionics), and at the time of writing, one paper under review and a further in preparation for submission in spring 2022. Within the latter 2 publications, we will present some of the first work on novel vertical aligned nanocomposite thin films of solid state battery materials. The paper under review demonstrates my films have very high ionic conductivity, an essential train for thin film electrolytes, and discusses some of the challenges in building solid-state thin film batteries incorporating 3D architectures. The second paper will report the first battery cycling data on a vertically aligned nanocomposite thin film cathode. |
| Exploitation Route | Through this funding, I have showcased the exceptional properties and performance of a thin film solid-state battery 3D vertically aligned nanocompostite thin films. By showing these materials can be cycled like a conventional battery, I can now work towards building systems with interfaces of interest, cycle them, and begin to study their degradation. |
