“The McNulty Group is based in the Department of Physics and the Bernal Institute at the University of Limerick (UL), Ireland. Our research focuses on the design and synthesis of nanostructured materials for next-generation energy storage systems, with a particular emphasis on metal–sulfur and lithium-ion batteries. We seek to deepen understanding of fundamental redox processes through advanced structural and electrochemical characterisation, including operando techniques.
UL proudly leads Work Package 2 – Conversion & Insertion Cathode Materials in the HighMag Project, where our team drives the development of innovative carbon–sulfur host structures and electrocatalyst materials to enhance the electrochemical performance of magnesium–sulfur (Mg–S) batteries.”
