Rechargeable Battery

With the advancement of energy storage systems, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have played a central role in
portable electric devices and automobiles as well as, stationary energy storage systems.

We construct nano-structured materials to enhances performances of LIBs and analysis
electrochemical fundamentals of LIBs

One-dimensional nanomaterials, notably, nanorods, nanowires, and nanotubes (NTs), have received significant attention as advanced functional materials along with their interesting electrical, optical, and electrochemical properties. In lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), nanostructured materials used as electrodes provide new avenues to improve electrochemical performance. The high surface-to-volume ratio, surface activity, short diffusion length, and efficient charge transport of 1D nanomaterials provide a potential engineering solution for high energy density with improved cyclability, as well as a high rate of charging and discharging

In our laboratory, various nanostructured electrodes are synthesized by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and template-assisted, and hydrothermal method. In particular, nanotubular structured electrodes with various wall thicknesses are fabricated. Electrochemical analysis of these electrodes are carried out as well
