Advanced Lithium ion Battery
Li-ion batteries are currently used in most portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. Through decades of development, high-capacity and high-power cathode material draw special attention for high performance of advanced Li-ion battery. Our research stream is focused on development many types of cathode (including high-capacity Li-rich, high voltage spinel LMNO, and Ni-rich cathode) and understanding the limitation, then tackling the shortcomings through material modification so that boost the electrochemical properties. Moreover, we also focused on development material engineering to design better cathode materials for fast-charging performance.

Solid State Battery
All-solid-state battery (ASSB) is one of the innovations in battery technology that is continuously developed and has received many attentions due to its high safety. It replaces the flammable organic-based liquid electrolyte with solid electrolyte, which can be developed from inorganic materials, polymers, or a combination of the two. ASSB has a promising potential to be applied to electric vehicles because of its ability to withstand extreme temperatures. However, ASSB practically still shows a lower performance than conventional batteries, which is caused by the low compatibility of each ASSB component. One of its essential components, i.e. solid electrolyte, is required to have a sufficiently high ionic conductivity. In addition, excellent mechanical properties and structural stability against air/humidity are also important characteristics that solid electrolytes must possess. We give our best efforts to develop an excellent solid electrolyte, both inorganic and polymer-based, in order to support the improvement of ASSB performance. By developing solid electrolytes, we hope to contribute to the field of science, especially in the development of the ASSB.
