Dr. Xing’s
research expertise in electrochemical energy storage includes
primary lithium batteries, rechargeable Li-ion batteries, next-generation
Li-ion batteries (Li metal anode, all-solid-sate), beyond Li-ion battery
chemistries (Li-sulfur, Li-air), and supercapacitors (symmetric,
asymmetric). The scope of our research
includes fundamental, material-level studies (electrodes, electrolytes,
separators) and integrated, cell-level investigations and optimizations.
- High energy density anode active materials
- ALD/MLD on active materials and separators
- Advanced cathode active materials
- Nanoporous separators with enhanced safety
- High voltage, nonflammable, wide temperature range electrolytes
- Composite solid electrolyte based all-solid-state battery
- High energy/power density zero volt storage capable
batteries
- Extremely long life Li primary batteries
- Electrocatalysts for Li-air batteries
- Material’s engineered LI-S batteries
- High energy density symmetric and asymmetric supercapacitors
