Fluoride-Ion Batteries
Our group is dedicated to the development of room-temperature fluorine-ion batteries technology, with efforts focusing on the key materials (electrolyte/electrode active materials), mechanism analysis and device designs. We aim to provide theoretical and practical technical support for accelerating the practical application of fluorine-ion batteries.

Designs of Layered Metal Oxide Cathodes
Our group leverages the “multi-component doping” and “surface modification” strategies to develop advanced layered metal oxide cathode materials for lithium ion batteries and sodium ion batteries, which realizes the targeted regulation of metal-oxygen coordination chemistry in the lattice, and improved its structural stability under deep charge and discharge conditions.
