Lab
Electrochemical Materials Laboratory

At the Electrochemical Materials Laboratory, we study and develop a wide range of electrochemical materials — including organic, polymeric, nanostructured, and inorganic materials — that can be utilized as electrodes, electrolytes, and separators. Through a fundamental understanding and elucidation of electrochemical principles, we design and evaluate various electrochemical devices such as lithium-ion batteries, lithium-metal batteries, anode-free lithium batteries, semi-solid-state lithium batteries, all-solid-state lithium batteries, and sodium-ion batteries. These electrochemical materials can be applied as key components for next-generation energy conversion and storage systems, including electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems. We anticipate that such technologies will bring groundbreaking advancements to current energy utilization and ultimately contribute to shifting the paradigm away from fossil-fuel-based systems toward a more sustainable, future-oriented energy landscape.
