معرفی
Pekka Peljo is an Associate Professor at Aalto University's Department of Chemistry and Materials Science, leading the Physical Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Physics (PhysElectrochemPhys) research group since September 2018. His work focuses on charge transfer mechanisms at solid-liquid interfaces and within solid materials, with a strong emphasis on developing advanced batteries for large-scale energy storage.
- Education: Master's degree in Engineering and Technology from Helsinki University of Technology
His research bridges Electrochemistry and Energy Storage, particularly in Redox Flow Batteries and Hydrogen Production via hydrocarbon electrolysis. Current projects include computational modeling of redox potentials, experimental flow battery designs, and scalable synthesis of cellulose nanocrystals for electrochemical applications.
Selected trends from his 75+ publications include Electron Transfer at interfaces, Operando Battery Monitoring, and Sustainable Energy solutions. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for climate action and affordable clean energy.
Scientific contributions are recognized through grants from the Academy of Finland, EU Horizon Europe, and strategic funding for projects like CompBat (2020-2023) and H2fromHE (2024-2028). He has presented at international conferences (e.g., ELCAT, Spain, 2011) and hosted collaborations with institutions like EPFL.
As Principal Investigator, Peljo leads projects such as PREDICTOR (2024-2028) for high-throughput screening of battery materials and Bi3BoostFlowBat (2025-2026). His group also investigates Hydrogen Production from natural gas and Vitamin B6-based Electrolytes for aqueous batteries.
