JCESR is a collaborative team of engineers and scientists with very broad backgrounds. In the battery space we are now facing challenges that required a multidisciplinary approach that no single group can achieve. Made up of 18 partner institutions, JCESR’s diversity and the opportunity for collaboration across disciplines is what makes us unique. We have the best of the best from each of our partner organizations. The JCESR team is much greater than the sum of its parts.

Probing migration of magnesium cations in spinel oxides
Measurements of 25Mg variable temperature solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (VT ss-NMR), and muon spin relaxation (μSR) in 3 spinel oxides reveal experimental magnesium hoping barriers as low as ∼0.6 eV, in agreement with independent density functional theory (DFT) predictions. Read More

Coupled Cation-Anion Dynamics Enhances Cation Mobility in Room Temperature Superionic Solid-State Electrolytes
Our work reveals facile [PX4]3- anion rotation in superionic Na11Sn2PS12 and Na11Sn2PSe12, and greatly hindered [SbS4]3- rotational dynamics in their less conductive analogue, Na11Sn2SbS12. Along with introducing dynamic frustration in the energy landscape, the fluctuation caused by [PX4]3- anion rotation is firmly proved to couple … Read More
