Welcome to the web page for the Matthias Young Research Group at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Our research group aims to advance the fundamental understanding of thin film technology and materials electrochemistry to enable the development of new electrochemical materials and devices which address critical needs in energy storage and water treatment. Specifically, we are interested in modifying electrochemical interfaces using thin, conformal coatings, and understanding how interfacial properties drive electrochemical performance. Our vision is to understand and address the factors that limit electrochemical performance and enable the bottom-up design of electrochemical devices with desired properties.
