Joerg Werner receives DARPA Young Faculty Award

BEST Lab co-founder Joerg Werner was selected as part of the 2023 DARPA YFA cohort. The groups is looking forward to many exciting discoveries in this research endeavor that combines their micro-architected electrodes with their ultrathin polymer coatings to drive towards tailored multiscale sorbents that are architected from the molecular chemistry to the mesoscopic structure […]

Review article published on nano-architected materials in EES

Prof. Werner and collaborators published a review article in Small Science on nano-architected materials in electrochemical energy storage systems such as batteries and supercapacitors. The review focuses on nanostructure-performance relationships that are obtained with the help of block copolymer self-assembly to architect functional materials with tunable structural parameters such as pore size, material thickness, and dimensionality […]
