Tadhg’s research group focuses on the development of active materials for high energy density Li-based batteries and sustainable Na-ion batteries. He has considerable experience in the development nanostructured electrode materials for batteries and the application of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for battery monitoring.
Key reseach focus areas for Tadhg are:
Tadhg studied Pharmaceutical and Industrial Chemistry at undergraduate level before obtaining his PhD in Chemistryandnbsp;in the University of Limerick. He is currently a lecturer in the Department of Chemical Sciences where his teaching interests lie in environmental science. Dr Kennedy's research involves the development of nanostructured materials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. Dr Kennedy has been successful in securing andgt; 2.4M from national, international and industry sources as either PI or co-applicant in the last 3 years. He is coordinator of the TRIDENT project, which is a large scale collaborative research project funded by the Irish Government through the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund. The goal of the project is to develop a low-cost, high-performance sodium-ion smart battery system for residential energy storage. He is also PI on a number of other battery related projects including a grant from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland for low-cost Na-ion battery development for grid-scale storage of intermittent renewable energy. Dr Kennedy s other research interests lie in the development of polymer nanocomposites with enhanced electrical properties. He also is actively researching the development of a nanostructured biosensor for detection of viral pathogens.
