Jianzhong Wu, a chemical engineering professor at the Bourns College of Engineering, has received funding from the Department of Energy to establish computational techniques to predict charge transport in nanostructured materials during charge-discharge cycling of electrochemical devices. The findings will contribute to the development of new electrical energy storage systems with high energy and power density. The research is a project within the Fluid Interface Reactions, Structures and Transport (FIRST) Center, a DOE-funded Energy Frontier Research Center at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.
