Research and development of materials for Li-ion batteries and hydrogen energy at the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia presenter: G. Bajars research group: J. Hodakovska, J. Kleperis, K. Kaprans, A. Knoks, P. Lesnicenoks, G. Kucinskis Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia (ISSP UL) Abstract: ISSP UL is an internationally recognized leading materials research centre in Latvia and Baltics. Research on material application for energy harvesting and storage is among the main research topics of the institute. Research priorities in battery materials and technologies includes: (1) novel electrode materials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries; (2) ageing of Li-ion materials and cells; (3) fundamental research of mass transport in ionic and mixed ionic-electronic materials. Investigated electrode materials include LiFePO4, mixed Li / Na manganese phosphates for cathode and graphene oxide, Fe2O3, TiO2, composite materials for anode. Our recent studies have
