Current Research Synthesis and characterization of various kinds of bulk/nanostructured materials towards the fabrication of high energy density Li-ion batteries and beyond, high power supercapacitors, and metal-O2 batteries. Various synthetic routes will be employed to prepare such high-performance active materials, for example, solid-state reaction, sol-gel, hydrothermal, combustion, co-precipitation, electrospinning, etc. Surface coating with the conventional process and atomic layer deposition will also be carried out to enhance the stability and safety of said materials further. High-performance electrolytes and recycling spent Li-ion batteries are also given special emphasis.
