Driscoll Research Group

I am working in the field of reversible micro solid oxide cells for portable power applications. My research is focused on optimising reaction kinetics at the device electrodes to enable low-temperature operation through the use of novel material platforms such as vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) structures and high entropy oxides.

Biography

Having completed my PhD at Imperial College London researching the development of alternative materials for plasmonic devices, my present work concerns the advancement of micro solid oxide fuel cells through the utilisation of vertically aligned nanocomposite thin films.
