Rechargeable Ion Batteries Materials, Design and Applications of Li-Ion Cells and Beyond

Katerina Aifantis an associate professor at the University of Florida, Gainesville, USA. She focuses on understanding the mechanical behavior of materials, particularly at the micron and nano scales, with applications in energy storage and biology. In 2019 her work on silicon anodes resulted in her receiving the Foteinou Award, the highest honor in electrochemistry bestowed by the Academy of Athens. She has published more than 85 articles, and co-edited the book High Energy Density Li Batteries, Materials, Engineering and Applications, Wiley-VCH 2010, which was also translated in Chinese in 2013.
