Ana Clara Rolandi

Ana Clara obtained her degree in Materials Engineering (2020) at the Nacional University of Mar del Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina). During her thesis, she studied green corrosion inhibitors for construction steel, at the Applied Electrochemistry division of the Research Institute for Materials Science and Technology (Argentina) under the direction of Dr Beatriz Valcarce (CONICET) and Dr Marcela Vazquez (CONICET).

At POLYMAT in Spain, Ana Clara will work under the supervision of Prof. David Mecerreyes on green polymers for the circular economy of batteries. The project, which is part of a cotutelle with Deakin University, will focus on synthesising and screening water-soluble polymeric binders for Li-ion batteries.

Training

The Centre will provide skills and training in advanced manufacturing across the energy storage supply chain – from materials through to devices and into integrated commercial products – to facilitate the next-generation of energy storage technologies.

Research

Working with the industry partners, researchers will design and manufacture new energy storage devices and components, including advanced Li ion, supercapacitors and solid state Li and Na batteries, with improved rate capability, capacity and safety.

Industry

In close collaboration with industry, the centre will build value across the sector, from developing supply chains, new devices and technologies to integrating and embedding these technologies with end-users.
