New insight into independent control of ionic and electronic conductivity of materials




New insight into independent control of ionic and electronic conductivity of materials

Lab researchers have discovered a new method to control the conductivity of materials that could eventually apply to fuel cells, batteries and gas sensors.

Postdoc Cedric Rocha-Leão, working with Condensed Matter and Materials Division's Vince Lordi, has found a new method to independently control ionic and electronic conductivities in certain solids.
