Yug Joshi

Dr. Yug Joshi is a Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials, specifically within the Department of Microstructure Physics and Alloy Design. His research focuses on the microstructure and interfaces of battery materials, particularly investigating cathode and anode degradation mechanisms, solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation, and lithium-ion transport dynamics. He employs advanced techniques such as operando optical microscopy, time-resolved microgravimetry, and atom probe tomography to study materials like lithium cobalt oxide, tin, silicon, and lithium titanate.

His work emphasizes the development of high-capacity battery electrodes and understanding phase transitions, electrochemical cycling behavior, and material stability. Joshi collaborates on interdisciplinary projects, including modular atom probe concepts integrating APT-FIB/SEM systems for nanoscale analysis. His research contributes to improving energy storage technologies through fundamental insights into material microstructure and electrochemical processes.
