Dr Michael Thielke

Postdoctoral Research Assistant

Supervisor:

Prof Ana Jorge Sobrido

Expertise:

My research is focussed on electrospinning of bio-based materials to produce submicron and nanosized carbon fibres for the use as electrode materials in flow batteries. I am developing novel strategies to control the fibre morphology and the chemical composition of the carbon fibres to obtain ideal materials to further improve the stability and performance of the batteries, while focusing on the development a green strategy for future applications that can be realised from fully sustainable resources.
