Field of interest:

Electrolytes for modern lithium, lithium-ion and sodium cells (liquid, polymer and gel type). New, weakly-coordinating anions as parts (both as salts or ionic liquids) of electrolytes for lithium and sodium batteries. Imidazole derivatives - synthesis of compounds, optimization and simplification of synthesis, investigation of their physicochemical properties, electrochemical measurements on their non-aqueous solutions. Transference numbers, electrochemical stability, association rates, ionic conductivity of electrolytes in lithium cells. Chronoamperometry (CA), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
