Proposal narrative

Long-form application text, sustainability framing, and relevance statement.

The team integrates operando microscopy, electrochemical analysis, and data interpretation workflows to identify failure mechanisms in battery interfaces. Reviews are strong overall, with one concern about instrument time allocation.

Sustainability

The work supports more durable energy storage systems through better understanding of degradation mechanisms.

Relevance to WISE

The project addresses Energy and Climate within the WISE matrix.

Ethics and incidents
