Research Statement
Efficient energy storage technology is one of the most essential components to resolve the problems that we now face regarding energy and environmental issues and finally realize carbon neutrality for a greener and sustainable world. Our group is working on materials challenges in electrochemical energy storage (secondary batteries). Our goal is to develop advanced electrode and electrolyte materials for sustainable lithium-ion batteries and beyond. To this end, we are devoted to understanding of synthesis-structure-property relationship of energy storage materials by leveraging advanced characterization technique that can offer an innovative material solution.
