Main Research Activities
This thesis supervised by Prof. C. Masquelier (Amiens, FR) and co-supervised Virginie Viallet is in the field of solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries.This thesis project aims to explore the different compositions of Argyrodite type sulfide ion conductors and increase the understanding of their ionic conduction mechanisms, as well as to study the effects of the local and microscopic structure and elemental composition on these mechanisms.
