We have programs within the Chemistry Division at the Naval Research Laboratory: “Electrical Energy Storage Electrode Materials Based on Metal-Organic Frameworks” and “Leveraging Nanoscale Phenomena for 3D all Solid-State Batteries”. These collaborative programs involve materials synthesis, the preparation and full characterization of electrodes and zinc battery materials. Magnetic resonance methods ranging from high resolution magic angle spinning to in situ imaging will play a major role in this program and are expected to be a focus of the post-doctoral researcher.
