Our research group (Electrochemical Interfaces & Materials Lab) aims to solve outstanding problems in electrochemical systems (e.g. electrochemical energy storage systems) by harnessing electrochemistry and materials science. We study reactions at electrochemical interfaces with advanced characterization techniques and design energy materials thereafter. Main research topics are as follows.
- Monitoring and Tracking Reactions at Electrochemical Interfaces
- Elucidating Fundamentals of Reactions in Electrochemical Systems
- Designing Energy Materials for Next-Generation Batteries
