Research area: Nanoionics, Solid-State defect chemistry, Functional metal oxides, thin-film, 3D printing, Energy technologies
My research lies at the frontiers between nanoionics, solid-state chemistry, and advanced materials processing. I am especially engaged with the challenge of tailoring functional metal oxides to achieve high performance and new properties in the nanoscale. I have conceived nano-confinement of highly defective metal oxides to achieve new stability domains and tune electrical and electromechanical properties. We also have disclosed the effect of oxygen defect configuration in nano-domains on gigantic electro-chemo-mechanical-response in defective metal oxides such as cerium oxide.
