Research

Energy Materials unit

We conduct fundamental and application-inspired studies in the general area of thin-film materials for energy applications. Among others, we investigate thermoelectrics, ionic conductors for fuel-cell applications, MAX phases and hard coatings.

Sharpened chemical scissor paves the way for tailored nanomaterials

Using a “chemical scissor”, thin materials can be tailored even at atom level. This is shown in a study published in Science. The results pave the way for new materials for use in future sustainable energy production, energy storage and electronics.

Creating thermoelectricity

In order to investigate how thermoelectricity is created, researchers at LiU have made a hard nanolaminate of titanium silicone carbide. This new knowledge can be used to create electricity from waste heat in cars and electrical appliances.
