Wesley Dose

Dr Wesley Dose is a Dr Research Fellow (DECRA) at The University of New South Wales, affiliated with the CHEM department. His research focuses on energy storage materials for applications in lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and other 'beyond' lithium-ion battery chemistries. Dr Dose's work involves the synthesis and electrochemical characterisation of advanced materials and understanding interfacial chemistry at electrode-electrolyte interfaces. He has previously worked at the University of Cambridge, Argonne National Laboratory, and the University of Leicester, with a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Newcastle. His research addresses challenges in battery design, degradation mechanisms, and sustainable material development for energy storage technologies.

Wesley M Dose focuses on advanced battery technologies, particularly in the development and characterization of high-performance cathode materials for lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and zinc-ion batteries. His research explores structural evolution, electrochemical behavior, and degradation mechanisms in Ni-rich cathodes, P2-type oxides, and layered materials. He investigates electrolyte reactivity, interfacial degradation, and fast-charging strategies to enhance battery stability and efficiency. His work also includes in situ and operando analyses of reaction mechanisms in various battery systems, as well as the synthesis and characterization of novel electrode materials such as nitrogen-doped hydrothermal carbon and silicon monoxide. Dose's research aims to address critical challenges in energy storage, including capacity fade, structural degradation, and electrochemical performance optimization.
