Lab
Advanced Battery Research Laboratory (ABRL)

The Advanced Battery Research Laboratory (ABRL) aims to design functional nano- and microscale energy materials for advanced energy storage and conversion applications. Our current research focuses on developing next-generation batteries and deploying them in large-scale systems such as electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESSs). Through the rational design and characterization of diverse electrode materials, we conduct in-depth studies on future battery technologies, including low-cost multivalent-ion batteries, safe all-solid-state batteries, high-energy metal–air batteries, and other high-performance functional materials. We believe that creating efficient energy-storage materials is a central technological challenge of the 21st century and are confident that our efforts will ultimately contribute to achieving a carbon-neutral energy cycle.
