About me

Professional information

I work at the Department of Hydrogen Energy, Faculty of Energy and Fuels, AGH University of Krakow. Poland.

My professional career is closely connected with AGH, where I obtained my PhD (doctoral thesis: “Structure, transport and electrochemical properties of Li-Mn-O and Li-Mn-Co-O spinels. Application in 3 V and 4 V lithium cells“, Faculty of Materials Science and Ceramics), habilitation (monograph: “Designing physicochemical properties of cathode oxide materials for IT-SOFC and Li-ION cells” ) and the title of professor. Currently, I serve as the Deputy Dean for Cooperation and Science at the Faculty of Energy and Fuels.

My scientific interests focus on research into the correlation between crystal structure and the transport and electrocatalytic properties of oxide materials, including, beyond the topics of SOFC fuel cells, SOEC electrolyzers, and Li-ion batteries, also research on materials for oxygen storage and ceramic membranes with mixed ionic-electronic conductivity.

These studies are carried out within international and national research projects, in the framework of close international and national cooperation.

Interests

• Design, research of physicochemical properties, and optimization of electrode materials for SOFC-type fuel cells and SOEC high-temperature electrolyzers, with particular emphasis on structural aspects, electrode microstructure, charge transfer mechanism, stability, and thermochemical properties. Modification of compounds with 4d/5d cations and the use of multicomponent high-entropy materials. Determination of polarization phenomena on electrodes and research on the electrochemical properties of cells. Design of materials for the co-electrolysis process of H2O and CO2 at high temperatures.

• Design and optimization of a new generation of anode materials (high-entropy oxides, conversion and alloying-based materials) and cathode materials (layered oxides with high lithium content, DRX oxides with a disordered rock-salt structure) for lithium cells characterized by high power density and stored energy. The research activity focuses on measuring the crystal structure and determining its modifications in electrode processes, studying the mechanism of ionic and electronic charge transfer, and determining the electrochemical properties in terms of electrode capacity and the reversibility of charge/discharge cycles.

• Machine learning in predicting the properties of Li-ion cells. Analysis of charge/discharge curves and electrode morphology using artificial intelligence techniques.
