Fenter holds a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor of science degree in physics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
[4] Fenter is also an adjunct professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago[2] and a Senior Scientist at Large in the UChicago Consortium for Advanced Science and Engineering.
His work has led to new advances in understanding of these systems including: the presence of interfacial hydration layers at solid-water interfaces,[5] the complex behavior of ions at charged solid-liquid interfaces (e.g., including the coexistence of multiple discrete ion adsorption states),[6][7] and the role of interfacial reactivity in controlling lithium-ion battery conversion reactions.
[3] CEES also explored novel “beyond lithium ion insertion” chemistries that can lead to substantial increases in the energy storage capacity of LIBs.
