Obrovac Research Group
Department of Chemistry, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada
Our research is focused on developing new practical metal-ion battery chemistries based on low-cost and abundant raw materials, such as sodium and magnesium. Research areas include the synthesis, characterization and electrochemistry of new intercalation materials, nanostructured compounds, amorphous metal alloys.
Our lab is part of the DREAMS - Dalhousie Research in Energy, Advanced Materials and Sustainability - program. This is a $1.65 million NSERC Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) program, aimed primarily at supporting a cohort of research trainees who will address important aspects of energy production/storage and sustainability. Researchers will play a pivotal role in renewable energy production and storage as well as the sustainable production of environmentally acceptable or re-usable materials.
