The Bartlett group focuses on inorganic synthesis to prepare compositionally complex materials for applications in renewable energy. The two main thrusts of their program are electrical energy storage in ion insertion materials and solar energy conversion in light-harvesting metal oxides. A central theme of the program is the interplay between structure, composition, and physical properties such as electrochemistry and absorption. Their current efforts are aimed at controlling morphology and composition in nanoscale materials. The Bartlett Group was awarded a 2013 NSF Career Award for Synthesis of Compositionally Complex Oxides for Energy Conversion and Storage. Bartlett received his A.B. from Washington University and his Ph.D. from MIT.
