About
Research Areas
- Li-Ion Batteries (Li metal, Silicon, Solid and Liquid Electrolytes, Cathodes)
- Thin Film Deposition and Characterization
Research
Dr. Ioanniti's research is focused on the following areas:
- Silicon Batteries: Material modification for silicon battery technology, electrochemical characterization, and quality testing. Focus on modification of silicon powder and binder. Studying silicon battery degradation mechanisms.
- Solid Electrolytes: Exploring the use of ceramic and thin-film solid electrolytes for next generation Li-metal batteries. Structural, Chemical and Electrochemical characterization of Li+ ion conducting solid state electrolytes in aqueous and non - aqueous environments. Fabrication and characterization of thin film solid electrolytes for protection of Li metal in aprotic environments.
- Thin – Film Coatings: Development of Li-bearing protective coatings for the solid electrolytes that inhibit reactions while providing for facile Li+ transport – Thin film cathodes for all solid-state batteries.
Teaching
- Instructor at the Energy Storage Technology Training Programs supported by NYSERDA and the University at Albany. Battery workshops and lab demonstrations.
- Training and supervising lab research work of graduate students in the Renewable Energy Laboratory.
