Energy Materials Laboratory

Welcome to the Energy Materials Laboratory, where our mission is to develop advanced materials for energy conversion and storage applications. Our team brings together expertise in polymer chemistry, materials science, electrochemistry, and catalysis to address the pressing challenges in energy devices. We focus on a comprehensive approach that covers the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel materials.

Porous Inorganic Materials 

We utilize self-assembly behavior of block copolymers to create advanced porous inorganic materials with tunable structures and functionalities. By precisely controlling nanostructures, we develop materials suitable for applications in energy storage and conversion, electrocatalysis, and gas adsorption, thereby enhancing efficiency across a wide range of energy devices. 

Next-Generation Energy Storages

Our research emphasizes the design and synthesis of electrode materials for improved energy density, power capability, and cycle life of next-generation energy storages. By optimizing the nanostructure and tailoring material properties, we create innovative electrode systems, ultimately developing more reliable and efficient power sources. 

Electrochemical Catalysts

Electrochemical catalysts play a crucial role in various energy conversion systems, including ammonia oxidation, water splitting, and fuel cells. We focus on developing highly active, stable, and selective catalysts by manipulating nanostructures and reaction pathways. Through novel materials, we aim to enable cleaner and more cost-effective energy solutions that can help mitigate environmental challenges.
