Next-generation E-chem Energy Storage Systems 
Solid state Li-metal batteries, featuring solid electrolytes and Li-metal anodes, offer enhanced energy density and safety compared to the present Li-ion batteries. In order to advance their practical applications, our focus centers on addressing interfacial issues, particularly electro-chemo-mechanical degradations, to enhance long-term cycling stability.
Lithium-air batteries based on Li2O formation have the highest theoretical energy density of among battery technologies . To achieve reversible four-electron reaction, our focus is to understand the cathode reaction mechanisms with the novel solid electrolytes and design multilayer stacking structure for ultrahigh-energy applications.
