Our mission
& vision
Industry and transportation produce almost HALF of all annual CO2 emissions in the United States. Here in the Materials for Energy & Climate Lab, we develop new materials and technologies that can displace current fossil-fuel based systems.
featured project
Decarbonizing energy systems
The world is dependent on fossil fuel technologies for transportation, heating, electricity production, and manufacturing. Our lab is working to disentangle fossil fuels from applications related to energy storage (batteries) and separations (direct air capture, desalination).

featured project
Testing technology under pressure
We use a range of advanced material characterization tools. These tools use electrons, x-ray, and neutrons to interrogate our material systems (e.g. technologies) during in situ and operando conditions.

why this work matters
carbon has got to go.
The consequences of climate change are everywhere. As we enter into an era of climate solutions, it is critical that we embrace cleaner, renewable sources of energy. Here in the lab, we study and build materials that will form the foundation for next generation clean tech applications.
