Research Interests

  • Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Molecular Layer Deposition (MLD)

The development of various thin films by advanced ALD and MLD techniques, including the inorganic thin films by ALD (metal oxide, solid-state electrolytes, et al) and organic thin films by MLD (pure polymers and hybrid films). 

  •  Synchrotron-based X-ray Techniques for Energy Devices

Using different synchrotron-based X-ray techniques, such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), and Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM), et al, to study the surface/interface chemistry for different energy devices. 

  •  Solid-state Battery and Interfaces

The development of different approaches to address the interfacial issues between the electrodes and electrolytes in all-solid-state Li/Na batteries. A deep understanding of the interfacial reaction in all-solid-state batteries using advanced techniques.

  •  Nanomaterials Fabrications and Their Application for Energy Storage

The development of nanomaterials (including metal-organic frameworks) with controllable structures by various methods and the applications of nanomaterials for different energy storage systems.
