electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Nazar demonstrated that interwoven composites could be used to improve the energy density of lithium–sulphur batteries. She was awarded the 2019 Chemical Institute of Canada Medal
.

Early life and education

Nazar studied chemistry at the

Exxon Research and Engineering Company,[3] before joining the University of Waterloo in the late 1980s, when she became interested in electrochemistry and Inorganic chemistry.[2]

Research and career

Nazar works in

National Research Council to investigate energy storage materials for automotive applications.[11]

Nazar is particularly interested in storage materials that go beyond

magnesium-ion batteries.[12][13][14][15] Lithium-ion batteries are the battery of choice in hybrid electric vehicles, but concerns have arisen about the global supply of lithium. Her early work developed porous carbon architectures as frameworks for cathodes, enhancing their conductivity and discharge capacity.[16] She demonstrated that interwoven carbon composites could be used to improve the energy density of lithium–sulphur batteries.[4] She showed it was possible to create mesoporous carbon frameworks that constrain the grown of sulphur nanofillers, which improved energy storage and reversibility.[16]

Nazar calculated the low-cost

polyanion materials.[22][23]

She was made a Professor at the University of Waterloo in 2016 and holds a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Solid State Energy Materials.[24] Since 2014 Nazar has served on the board of directors of the International Meeting on Li-Batteries.[25] She serves on the editorial boards of the journals Angewandte Chemie, Energy & Environmental Science and the Journal of Materials Chemistry A.[26][27]
