Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunities in the Brinkman Group: NSF REU Program

Structure Property Relations in Ceramic Composites for Energy Conversion and Storage Mixed ionic-electronic conductors are widely used in devices for energy conversion and storage. Grain boundaries in these materials have nanoscale spatial dimensions, which can generate substantial resistance to ionic transport due to dopant segregation. Lower resistance to ionic transport may improve the performance of
