RESEARCH INTERESTS
Professor Sadoway’s research seeks to establish the scientific underpinnings for technologies
that make efficient use of energy and natural resources in an environmentally sound manner.
This spans engineering applications and the supportive fundamental science. The overarching
theme of his work is electrochemistry in nonaqueous media.
Specific topics in applied research are the following: environmentally sound electrochemical
extraction and recycling of metals, solid-polymer-electrolyte batteries for portable power, highamperage energy storage devices for stationary applications, and advanced materials for use as
electrodes in fused-salt electrolysis cells and batteries,.
The related fundamental research is the physical chemistry and electrochemistry of molten salts
(including molten oxides), ionic liquids, and solid polymer electrolytes.
