Welcome to Prof. Ai-Min Li's Research Lab!

Our group focuses on pioneering new chemistries and cutting-edge devices that offer high efficiency and cost-effectiveness to tackle critical energy storage challenges. We conduct interdisciplinary research across organic/inorganic chemistry, materials science, and electrochemical engineering, with a focused aim: boosting energy utilization efficiency in next-generation batteries. Our key research activities include three core areas: designing and synthesizing advanced electrolytes and electrode materials, investigating interfacial interactions and correlations, and developing high-energy batteries using eco-friendly materials.

Key research topics include:

(1) Molecular electrolyte design: electrolyte synthesis and formulation for high-energy electrodes

(2) Materials innovation for energy storage and conversion

(3) Electrochemistry with new chemistries for sustainable energy

(4) Solvation structure investigation for effective interphase design

(5) New device development for multi scenes (safe, fast-charge, extreme temperature ... etc.)

We aim to advance the fundamental understanding of critical challenges facing today’s energy storage from a multidisciplinary perspective and to pursue the practical potentials of our innovations toward a sustainable and clean future.

We cordially invite passionate talents worldwide to join us!

Let’s embark on this exciting journey together !!!
