Patrik Johansson

Patrik Johansson is Professor of Physics at Chalmers University of Technology, leading research on next-generation battery electrolytes. His group develops novel electrolyte systems for multivalent batteries (Ca, Mg), sustainable sodium-ion systems, and non-corrosive aluminum batteries, combining computational design with experimental validation.

Research directions include:

• Calcium battery electrolytes using molten salts and entropy stabilization
• Waste-derived electrode materials for sustainable storage
• Highly concentrated electrolytes for sodium and sodium-oxygen batteries
• Fluorinated ether-based formulations for lithium metal stability

As co-director of Alistore-ERI and participant in EU projects including BIG-MAP, he coordinates European battery research. Awarded BASF's Open Innovation Prize for aluminum battery concepts.
