Chibueze Amanchukwu // Electrolytes for Energy Storage and Electrocatalysis
Chibueze Amanchukwu is a Neubauer Family Assistant Professor in the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago and holds a joint appointment at Argonne National Laboratory.
His research is focused on enabling long duration electrical (batteries) and chemical energy storage for a sustainable energy future. His team is especially interested in modifying electrolyte and ion solvation behavior to control electrochemical processes occurring in batteries and electrocatalytic transformations such as carbon dioxide capture and conversion. They couple data science, computation, synthesis, and characterization to holistically understand ion transport in electrolytes and control interfacial reactions for efficient and cheap long duration storage.

Co-intercalation-free Ether Solvent for Lithium Ion Batteries
A substitute for carbonate-based electrolytes – a class of compounds called fluorinated ethers, which are able to support reversible lithium-ion intercalation and deintercalation within graphite.
Reactive Metal Electrodeposition Process for Efficient PFAS Defluorination and Mineralization
An electrochemical process converts PFAS into harmless fluoride ions and carbon fragments under ambient conditions without catalysts or membranes.
One-Pot Organic-Inorganic Composite Synthesis for Durable Solid-State Battery Electrolytes
A one-pot method synthesizes a hybrid sulfide–polymer composite – yielding a flexible, durable electrolyte with excellent ionic conductivity for use in lithium metal batteries.
DMSO-Enhanced CO2 Capture and Conversion System for Efficient Syngas Production
A DMSO-based system uses an amine and salt to capture CO2 from industrial off-gas and electrochemically converts it into efficient syngas, improving performance over water-based methods.
