Nanocrystalline materials for efficient electrochemical energy conversion
First TEAM project, Foundation for Polish Science, 2018-2022
​

In 2021, the project received additional funding for 1 year. The extension has been granted due to FNP funding for establishing collaborations between the First TEAM/TEAM/TEAM-TECH laureates.
Our new task is carried out in collaboration with prof. Krzysztof Wojciechowski group at AGH (LINK). We work on thermoelectric and ionic conducting materials.
