Research Interest

My current main research interest is developing hign-energy and stable lithium-sulfur batteries through electrode engineering and electrolyte-electrode interphase modification. Meanwhile, with the assistance of advanced synchrotron radiation characterization techniques, I will work on in-depth mechanism understanding of lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and sodium-ion batteries.
