Biography

To meet this century’s demands for environmentally friendly transportation and cleaner energy sources, our research focus on developing of nanostructured materials for high-performance next-generation energy storage and conversion devices. Much efforts have been devoted to design, synthesize, and characterize transition metal oxides and the composites materials via various chemical and physical processes, exploit the applications in energy storage and conversion, especially electrochemical capacitors, Li-ion batteries, Electrocatalysis, etc., and better understand the structure-property-performance relationship. The main research interests include: (1) Design, synthesis, fabrication, characterization, and application of transition metal compound nanostructured materials for energy storage and conversion; (2) Fabrication and evaluation of the carbonaceous materials with high specific surface in energy storage and conversion ; (3) The design and fabrication of three-dimensional multifunctional electrodes from the appropriate nanoscale building blocks for energy storage and conversion application.
