Early life and education

edit

Edström was born 1958 in Gothenburg. She studied chemistry at Uppsala University and earned her doctoral degree in 1990. For her doctoral research, Edström worked with Josh Thomas on solid electrolytes, including beta-alumina. She was appointed as research assistant at Uppsala University in 1995. At the time, she was interested in designing materials with special properties.[1] Edström has earned a number of large research projects from funding agencies such as the Swedish Research Council, the Swedish Energy Agency, and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation

Research and career

edit

Edström works on batteries and novel electrode materials. She has worked on lithium-ion, lithium–air and sodium-ion batteries.[2] Her research has particularly considered new anode materials, using photoemission spectroscopy to identify the impact of interlayers and interfaces.

When rechargeable batteries are charged and discharged, they lose a little of their capacity.[3] This degradation could because by crystals that form at the electrodes.[2] Edström's recent work has considered self-repairing batteries using polymers. Polymers can form weak hydrogen bonds with other polymer chains or the surfaces of electrodes.[3] Edström has proposed using polymers on the surface of electrodes in an effort to stop them from cracking. She has synthesised a range of polymers and investigated them using spectroscopic electrochemistry, as well as modelling the interfaces between the electrode and electrolyte.[3] The electrolytes used by Edström include fixed ceramic and salt-based electrolytes.[3] She is interested in battery technologies for the automotive industry.[4]

She leads the Ångström Advanced Battery Centre at Uppsala University, which is the largest group in all of the Nordic countries.[5] She is leading the Swedish battery competence center BASE and European Commission project, the EU Large-Scale Research Initiative BATTERY 2030+, that is developing next generation energy storage materials.[1][6][7]

Academic service

edit

Edström was promoted to Professor at Uppsala University in 2005. She has served as Vice Dean for Research at the Faculty of Science and Technology, and Vice Chancellor of the Degree Program.[8][9] Alongside her research, Edström is involved with mentoring and teaching early career researchers. She has said that "I’m like an umbrella with different groupings of researchers, who all seek and receive their own research grants. It’s fun to see doctoral students take the leap...They make faster progress in their own area than I can. It’s so cool!”.[1]

From 2010 to 2017 Edström served as Chair of the STandUp for Energy research programme. The programme includes KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Luleå University of Technology and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. From 2016 to 2021 Edström is Director of SwedNess, a graduate programme in neutron scattering.[10][4] She has been a member of the boards of Uppsala University, the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research and currently she is a trustee of the Faraday Initiative and a vice preses of The Royal Academy of Engineering Science.

She is an elected member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences.
