研究领域

1) Batteries: from Liquid to Solid: Our group has a rich experience on the conventional Li-ion batteries, as well as the novel battery systems (such as Li-S, Li-O2, Na-O2 batteries). More recently, we move from conventional liquid-based batteries to the next-generation solid-state batteries (SSBs). Our research on SSBs has focused on several components of the battery system, ranging from the synthesis of the solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) to the design and modification of the interface between electrodes and electrolytes, and engineering of novel electrode fabrication processes. 2) Materials: from Nano to Atomic: Our group dedicates to the development and application of atomic layer deposition (ALD) and molecular layer deposition (MLD) for energy storage and conversion applications. Various materials, including metal oxides, solid-state electrolytes, noble metal catalysis, are developed and fabricated by ALD/MLD techniques. The ALD/MLD films are further applied to engineer the interface for the different battery systems, such as Li-ion, Li-S, Li-metal, and solid-state batteries. For PEM fuel cells, our group dedicates on the synthesis of the isolated single atoms (even dimer) for noble metal and stabilizing catalysis by ALD/MLD techniques. 3) Advanced Characterizations: from Ex-situ to In-situ: Our group has access to various facilities for regular characterization techniques as well as established connections within the university campus and across the world for more advanced analytical characterization methods. Moreover, several in-situ and in-operand characterization techniques have been developed in our group to monitor the chemical and physical evolution of various battery systems in a real working environment. Up to now, techniques such as in-situ X-ray diffraction, in-situ scanning electron microscopy, and in-situ Raman have been demonstrated by his group. We also have close collaboration with the scientists in different light sources around the world, such as Canadian Light Source, Advanced Photon Source, Advanced Light Source, and Taiwan Photon Source, to develop in-situ synchrotron-based X-ray techniques for energy devices.
