Research

We focus on developing unconventional energy storage systems and related materials, processes, and solutions to address the energy crisis resulting from limited resources. We aim to innovate and create sustainable energy solutions that make the most of available resources, ensuring a more efficient and resilient energy future

Project Cocktail

Our goal is to revolutionize liquid-based battery architecture. By fine-tuning and optimizing the physical and chemical properties of active materials and additives in the electrolytes, we aim to eliminate the need for expensive membranes, significantly reduce battery self-discharge, and improve overall battery performance. Currently, we have achieved a 20-fold reduction in electrolyte cost, doubled the energy density compared to similar battery systems, and achieved a low self-discharge rate comparable to commercial solid-based Li-ion batteries

Project O-Jelly | Soup Dumplings

This project focuses on designing materials and tandem processes to efficiently neutralize environmental pollution, particularly from halogen species. By transforming waste into valuable resources, we develop materials that prevent halogen corrosion or react with corrosive halogen compounds, converting them into value-added products. We have successfully prevented polybromide corrosion of metals under extreme conditions and designed nanomaterials that remove bromine with twice the capacity of existing methods. Related applications and significant performance improvements are on their way

Project Angelexation

Coming soon

Projects No? Can Do!

Why say no to a project before it even starts? If it is theoretically feasible and aligns with our research direction, we give it a try and turn it into something useful. The only prerequisite is that it’s fun
