Marshall SchroederDevelopment of a Solid-State, High Power Lithium-Air Battery

In a video by the University of Maryland Energy Research Center, MSE alumnus (B.S. '10) and current MSE graduate student Marshall Schroeder, advised by Professor Gary Rubloff, discusses his current research on the design and fabrication of a high-power, solid state lithium-air battery, for which he was awarded a 2012 John and Maureen Hendrick Energy Research Fellowship. In the video, provides an overview of the technology, the nanofabrication techniques he'll be using, and why he became involved in energy research.
