Center for Renewable Energy Electrochemistry

Mission

CREE's mission is to become a world leader in renewable electrochemically-based energy storage and conversion research.

Improved electrochemical performance through alternative electrolytes such as ionic liquids.
Catalysts- It is widely recognized that there is not sufficient Pt for widespread fuel cell deployment. New catalysts in non-acid based electrolytes are an area of focus.
Electrocatalyst and electrode stability studies to improve longevity of e.g. Pt, and seek more stable systems.
New multi-electron redox systems for transformational increases in battery storage density.
Fuel cell architectures- Investigation of membraneless alternatives to conventional fuel cells.
Sustainable electrochemical energy sources- electrochemical solar cells.
New techniques for the study of catalysts.
New rationally designed nanomaterials for batteries.
