(444a) Engineering 2D Materials for Zn-Ion Batteries and Na-Ion Batteries

To tackle the environmental challenges, renewable energy storage including batteries and supercapacitors has garnered great attention over the past decade. My group has been focused on the production and modification of graphene, MXene, and other nanomaterials for Na-ion batteries, and Zn-ion batteries. Our strategy for nanomaterials control includes but is not limited to novel production methods, morphology control, chemical functionalization/doping, and composite structure. The produced new structured materials have been proven to dramatically enhance the performance of the relevant batteries.
