OUR RESEARCH VISION
We design and engineer materials at the nanoscale to understand and control their electrochemical properties. Our research connects fundamental materials science with electrocatalysis and electrochemical devices for sustainable energy technologies. Our research philosophy lies in embracing classical electrochemistry through a distinctive materials lens that others overlook, ultimately redefining conventional structure–property relationships.
MATERIALS DESIGN
Design and engineering of functional materials with tailored structures and properties.
ELECTROCATALYSIS
Understanding and controlling catalytic processes for efficient energy conversion.
ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICES
Integrating designer materials into electrochemical devices for energy conversion and storage.
