In the week of 8-12 October 2023, PhD students Maaike Vink-van Ittersum and Henrik Rodenburg travelled to Gothenburg, Sweden, together with dr. Peter Ngene to present at the 244th Electrochemical Society Meeting. Maaike presented about her research on Pore Size Effects in Templated Porous Ag Electrodes for Electrochemical CO_2­ Reduction.
Henrik gave an oral presentation about his research on Mixed Ionic-Electronic Conductivity in Oxygen-Free K₂NiF₄-Type Hydrides, which was recently published in Solid State Ionics. In the paper the authors report on the successful synthesis of two mixed electronic/ionic conductors, Rb₂CaH₄ and Cs₂CaH₄, which show reasonable ionic conductivity below 150°C.
Dr. Peter Ngene presented the results on Interface Induced Fast Ion Conduction in Complex Hydride/Oxide Nanocomposites: Interplay between Hydride and Oxide Properties.
