Electrochemical technologies are deemed to play a crucial role in the ongoing transition to renewable energy and sustainable materials ecosystems. Electrochemical energy converters and reactors can operate at efficiencies not limited by thermodynamic cycles and have a unique size and power scalability.
In the Electrochemical Energy Storage Group (FTMC-EESG) we carry out the research and development of ion insertion batteries based on framework electrode materials and aqueous electrolyte solutions. At the moment, we are primarily focused on Na- and Zn-ion battery materials and systems.
We are hosted at the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC), the largest research and technology organization in Baltics, as part of the Electrochemical Energy Conversion Lab within the Department of Chemical Engineering and Technologies.

22-24.09.2026 Group activities and recent research results presented in the invited talk "Design and Advanced Characterization of Aqueous Na- and Zn-Ion Battery Materials" at the 7th Nordic Battery Conference NordBatt 2026 in Espoo, Finland.
01/08/2026 Another contribution to our understanding of NASICON materials for aqueous batteries is now out in the American Chemical Society Chemistry of Materials. In collaboration with Vytautas Klimavičius NMR group, we demonstrate that diamagnetic ions such as V5+ give rise to local environments in which multiple nuclei can be probed by NMR, allowing various processes to be studied. “Probing the Aqueous Electrochemical Degradation in Na2.5V1.5Ti0.5(PO4)3 by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance through the Interplay between Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic Vanadium Ions” doi:10.1021/acs.chemmater.6c00991
