If you’ve got a passion for chemistry, don’t let anyone say you’re not good enough or you won’t succeed – you can and will.
Lizzie's current work investigates new battery materials for lithium- and sodium-ion batteries. This type of battery can be found in multiple places: smart phones, laptops, and more recently electric vehicles.
In the research labs, she tries to produce new battery materials that could offer better performance and improved safety than materials currently in use. She loves to bring out 'battery Jenga' when explaining this type of battery and it has, in recent years, been her mission to ensure there is greater understanding of this technology.
