Vici grant for three UT professors

Previous article Next article UT professors Mark Huijben, Christian Nijhuis and Floris Zwanenburg, all associated with research institute MESA+, have received a Vici grant of EUR 1.5 million from NWO. This will allow them to develop an innovative line of research in the coming years and further develop their own research group. Vici is one of the largest person-centred scientific grants in the Netherlands and is aimed at advanced researchers. Superior microbatteries by tailoring interfaces for an interconnected society. +31534893689 m.huijben@utwente.nl Building: Carré C3239 Personal page Microbatteries- performance is currently insufficient for future wireless and autonomous applications of advanced microelectronic devices, and even suffers from fast degradation. Scientists will circumvent the limitations in conventional microbatteries by creating crystalline, highly ordered microbattery architectures. An unique combination of atomically controlled thin film synthesis and detailed characterization will reveal enhancements at the buried interfaces.
