Welcome to our team! Dr. David Aradilla has obtained his PhD from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and the Barcelona Research Center in Multiscale Science and Engineering in 2013. Among others, he worked at the CEA Grenoble (2013-2018) and the Georg August Universität Göttingen (2018-2020). Among others, he is an expert in electrochemistry, electrode materials, and energy storage technologies. He will enrich our team’s expertise and contribute towards the development of new generations of electrochemical energy storage devices.

Review paper published in Nature Reviews Materials on electrochemical desalination
New paper published in Nature Reviews Materials on electrochemical desalination for the removal of ions (ranging from removal of undesired ions to elemental recovery and advanced ion management). The paper was created in collaboration with Doron Aurbach (Bar-Ilan University), Jeyong Yoon (Seoul National University), and Xiao Su (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign).
Welcome new group members Tamara Winter and Behnoosh Bornamehr
Welcome new student intern Behnoosh Bornamehr (from Saarland University) and scientist Tamara Winter (from TU Darmstadt)! Behnoosh is working on advanced electrode materials and Tamara will enhance our research on soft electrode technology.
New paper published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces on MXene/carbon desalination
New paper published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces on the use of MXene paired with activated carbon for electrochemical desalination. Probing low and high salinity levels, our work demonstrates the permselectivity of MXene and the synergetic added-value of MXene surface functional groups to boost the desalination performance.
