Energy storage is a “bond” that connects today's energy with the future, which is at the core mission to spread renewable energy technologies and optimize energy systems throughout the world. Despite the substantial amount of research on batteries,  the commercial viability of electric vehicles has been hampered due to their slow charging speed. My research focuses on developing advanced materials and scalable manufacturing technologies for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) tailored for electric vehicle (EV) applications. A key area of exploration involves graphene-based composite materials engineered to enhance electrode conductivity, improve ion transport kinetics, and increase thermal stability while minimizing irreversible capacity loss. 

Material evaluation such as nickel-rich layered oxides (NMC811) and olivine-type LiFePO₄ (LFP), with a focus on structural stability, electrochemical behavior, and long-term cycling performance. On the anode side, I develop and apply robust polymer matrices tailored for high-energy-density silicon-based systems.  These systems are evaluated through comprehensive electrochemical testing, combined with structural and thermal analysis to elucidate degradation mechanisms and optimize performance. The outcomes contribute to a holistic approach to LIB innovation, bridging material science, electrochemical engineering, and scalable cell manufacturing for the next generation of high-efficiency EV batteries.
