We are passionate about electrochemical energy devices. Below are some of the specific topics that we are currently working on.
Making Materials
We aim to improve the performance and durability of electrochemical energy devices via material engineering. Through combining state-of-the-art fabrication techniques and computational tools for accelerated discovery, we demonstrate unique material architectures and compositions for next generation electrochemical energy devices.

Imaging Inside
Seeing is an effective way to characterize transport phenomena in electrochemical energy systems. These phenomena often govern the efficiency and durability of the systems. We use optical/neutron/ synchrotron X-ray-based tools to understand important transport phenomena in electrochemical energy systems.
