Martin Wilkening is interested a Professor of Solid State Physical Chemistry at the TU Graz in Austria, he is the director of the Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Materials. Martin’s research focusses on the investigation of new solid electrolytes (ceramics, glasses, nanostructured materials) for new energy storage systems. In particular, his workgroup uses broadband impedance spectroscopy and solid-state NMR techniques to characterize both macroscopic transport and the elementary steps of ion (Li, Na, F, H) hopping in functional materials. Currently, special emphasis is put on elucidating the interplay between translational and rotational ion dynamics as well as the origins of correlated or concerted motion in fast ion conductors. Martin is Editor of Elsevier’s journal Solid State Ionics.
