Research in our lab is focused on the development of advanced materials for energy storage applications, with a particular emphasis on sustainable battery technologies. We begin with the synthesis of novel cathode materials and subsequently explore the feasibility of bulk synthesis for large-scale applications. These materials are integrated into electrochemical systems, including coin and pouch cell configurations, to evaluate their practical performance. Our interdisciplinary approach combines synthetic chemistry, materials engineering, and device fabrication to optimize parameters such as capacity, cycle life, and rate capability. We employ advanced characterization techniques to gain mechanistic insights, including synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. These tools help elucidate the structural and redox behavior of newly developed materials, guiding the rational design of next-generation battery electrodes.
