Technologies for New Energy Sources and Efficiency

Interdisciplinary collaboration of BU Engineering and Arts & Sciences bridges the gap between fundamental studies in energy materials and the engineering of devices, processes and systems that balance cost, efficiency and their dynamic behavior. This work is based on our core competencies in solid‐state materials and devices, electrochemistry, computational methods in materials science,and atomic-level characterization of surfaces and interfaces.
