Advanced Materials Research Group
Research Field
I am interested in design and engineering of materials for energy applications, via experimental and modeling methods. Energy conversion and storage systems including lithium-ion and redox flow batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors are among our research focus.
In our research group, we aim to improve resource efficiency through materials research. The goal is to solve energy issues facing Taiwan and the world, especially in the aspects of self-sustainability. Both experimental and theoretical techniques are developed to facilitate the understanding of interfacial phenomena and rational design of materials and electrochemical systems in energy applications. Through our core trainings, we cultivate members with multidisciplinary research abilities and prepare them for next generation energy industries.
