To promote the efficient use of energy resources and support environmental conservation, it’s essential to further enhance the performance of current energy devices and systems. Our research group focuses on batteries and electrochemical systems, with an eye toward next-generation vehicles and future energy management technologies.
Taking a comprehensive, cross-scale approach—from nanoscale material interfaces to real-world operating conditions—we investigate the mechanisms of reaction and transport phenomena, identify key controlling factors, and propose technological improvements to boost overall performance.
We are also advancing the development of theoretical frameworks and device designs for novel small-scale, decentralized chemical systems—including those involving electrochemical synthesis—based on experiments, measurements, and computational analysis.
Our research is guided by a principle of five-fold integration: precise material characterization, analysis of complex 3D structures, the fusion of measurement and computation, development of theoretical models, and support for optimal design.
Target Devices & Systems: Lithium-ion batteries, polymer electrolyte fuel cells, all-solid-state batteries, metal-air batteries, redox flow batteries.
