Research Field:

The main research is focused on the developing of high-energy-density all-solid-state batteries. There are mainly three parts. The first one is the understanding, design, and synthesis of halide-based solid-state electrolytes. The goal here is to achieve ultra-high ionic conductivity of solid-state electrolytes. The second one is the design and study of the "solid-solid" interfaces within all-solid-state electrolytes. The third one is to develop high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium batteries for practical applications.
