Faradaic materials

Posted on

Faradaic materials enable redox-reactions for enhanced energy storage or electrochemical water treatment applications. In our team, we explore (1) carbon/metal oxide hybrid materials, (2) carbon/metal nitride hybrid materials, (3) carbon nanomaterials enhanced by surface functional groups, (4) 2D nanolamellar transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXene).
