Sustainably-Engineered Materials
The Titirici group focuses on developing sustainable materials for a fossil-free energy future. That’s why we focus on renewable resources, carbon materials and benign processing methods, such as hydrothermal carbonization and electrospinning. Predominantly, our research is based around green batteries and green catalysis for energy applications.
Our research is facilitated by the various pieces of equipment we have in our laboratories, see some of what we have here: Titirici group equipment.
We also have a Group Brochure which collates everyone’s research projects into one easily-digestible brochure.
Find out more about the four main applications of our research by following the links below:
Batteries
Sustainable carbon materials, for application in novel battery chemistry, including Na-ion, Li-S and multi-ion batteries.
Electrocatalysis
Efficient, selective and sustainable catalysts, for fuel cells, electrolysers, electrochemical ammonia production and CO2 reduction.
Supercapacitors
Carbon nanofibers, with tailored porosity, functionality and electronic conductivity, for supercapacitors.
