OUR STORY
Research Overview
We investigate electrochemical materials, chemistries, and processes aimed at solving societal challenges in energy and the environment, particularly in energy storage and recycling. Strategically, we seek to understand and control the macroscopic material properties, device performance, and process outcomes up from the molecular level. Advanced electrochemical methods and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are cornerstones of our work.
Thematically, our research lies at the interface between chemical engineering, physical chemistry, electrochemistry, and materials science.
We benefit from working with collaborators and friends from across the globe.
Prof. Messinger is also the founding director of the NASA-CCNY Center for Advanced Batteries for Space (CABS).
Our research is funded through a variety of governmental agencies, including the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
