Lab
Advanced Energy Materials Laboratory (AEML)

ㆍMaterials → Process → Device, End-to-End Energy Innovation


Advanced energy materials laboratory (AEML) advances next-generation energy technologies using nanotechnology across organic/inorganic electronic and metallic materials. Through an end-to-end, full-lifecycle workflow from materials design to process optimization and device validation, we accelerate high-efficiency, durable solar cells (perovskite/quantum-dot/tandem) and circular-economy batteries (recycling, upcycling, and key materials). We also develop self-healing nanocoatings and flexible/wearable electronics enabled by low-temperature sintering and high-conductivity flexible materials, delivering scalable devices for industrial application. With extensive experience, we lead the development of convergent, next-generation energy devices.
