Lukatskaya Group | ETH Zurich Electrochemical

DESIGNING MATERIALS AND ELECTROLYTES FOR ENERGY

We study complex phenomena in solids and liquids and at their electrified interfaces.

We apply the fundamental knowledge that we gained to developing new energy systems that can deliver improved performance, cost, efficiency, and safety.

We target minimizing environmental footprint when designing energy systems.
