Lab Introduction
Our research group was founded in 2009 with a primary focus on conducting advanced research in the field of energy storage materials, specifically cathode and anode materials, catalysts, and other related areas. As industries worldwide continue to advance, the development of novel practical materials has become increasingly crucial. We believe that our approach, which involves fundamental material considerations and employing advanced analytical techniques, will provide concrete solutions to address future material challenges.
