- Leaders in the field recognise (e.g. 10.1021/acs.chemrev.8b00252; 10.1038/s41560-020-0560-6) this report as the first-ever experimental proof of the conjectured superionic state of nano-confined electrolytes. Understanding of the relationship between this superionic state and electrode characteristics has opened-up pathways to substantially improving supercapacitor performance (10.1093/nsr/nwz140; 10.1021/acs.chemrev.8b00252), which is critical to realising a zero-carbon future. This has underpinned significant new funding from the Japan Science & Technology Agency (£300k pa for five years). The work has also been the subject of a number of invited keynote and plenary talks (e.g. 47th IUPAC World Chemistry Congress; 2019 Materials Research Society of Japan Meeting).
