The present research program involves utilizing appropriate probes for movement of ionic and electronic charge carriers in ceramic materials suitable for solid electrolyte and electrode applications in high-performance, secondary battery and fuel cell systems. Special emphasis is placed on developing a better understanding of the effects of structure, impurities, and composition on transport mechanisms and on developing detailed knowledge of the kinetics and mechanisms of reactions occurring (on a microscopic scale) at the electrode--electrolyte interfaces of energy storage and conversion systems.
