2007 - Development of thermochemical fuel production and fuel cells

* Haile's research centers on ionic conduction in solids. The objectives are to understand the mechanisms that govern ion transport and to apply that understanding to the development of advanced solid electrolytes and novel solid-state electrochemical devices. * Applications of fast ion conductors include batteries, sensors, ion pumps, and fuel cells. * Device development plays an increasingly important role in her research. Micropower generators, based on solid oxide fuel cells are particularly attractive for portable power.
