Welcome to the Nanoscale Prototyping Laboratory at Stanford!

Our team is addressing fundamental issues on energy conversion and storage at the nanoscale. We employ a wide range of nano-fabrication technologies to build prototype fuel cells, capacitors and batteries that are used to test new concepts and novel material structures through atomic layer deposition, scanning tunneling microscopy, impedance spectroscopy and other technologies. In addition, we use atomic scale modeling to gain insights into the nature of charge separation and recombination processes. Our intention is to eventually publish all scientific results from our Laboratory. For a list of recently reviewed publications, please visit our highlighted Research Publications. For a complete list of publications, please visit our Publications page.
