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.
We develop layered cathode materials with high phase purity and controlled composition to enhance electrochemical performance. We focus on improving capacity, stability, and scalability for practical energy storage applications.
We employ advanced characterization techniques, both conventional and synchrotron-based, to investigate material properties. Tools such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction provide deep insights into our materials' structural, electronic, and redox behavior, enabling informed design and optimization for high-performance energy storage systems.
We evaluate the practical performance of our synthesized materials using electrochemical systems, including both coin cell and pouch cell configurations. These setups allow us to assess key parameters such as capacity, stability, and rate capability, providing crucial insights for scaling up advanced materials in real-world battery applications.
