Porous Electrode Materials for

Advanced Rechargable Batteries

 

Porous materials are of great interest in the application of rechargeable batteries. The complexity of the pore structure and wall architecture affects electron conduction, ions transport in the pores and interfacial charge-transfer, and therefore have significant influences in electrochemical performance. Our objective is to synthesize and characterize porous electrode materials for Li-ion batteries and Li-air batteries, and study the relationship between the pore structure and electrochemical performances.
