  Elucidating Energy Storage in Soft Nanostructures through Versatile Electrochemistry Dr. Joaquín Rodríguez-López Assistant Professor Department of Chemistry, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign My group is interested in exploring the impact of structural and reactive heterogeneity in soft materials for energy storage. New materials and an expanded electroanalytical toolbox is allowing us to discover synergies at the nano and mesoscale for emerging battery technologies. In my talk, I will discuss two systems where nano-scale heterogeneity has an impact on macro-scale performance: [...]
