Title: New Generation Low-dimensional Nanomaterials for Energy Storage Applications
Abstract
Advanced low-dimensional nanomaterials have attracted significant interest due to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties over the past decade. In our research lab, we develop exceptional low-dimensional nanomaterials and explore their applications in effective energy storage devices. One of the greatest challenges besetting the development of battery technologies is fast charging, especially within flexible or compact designs. We discuss how the design of low dimensional nanostructure can correlate with the ion transportation efficiency, the activity of electrochemical reaction and energy storage based on chemical transformation. We have also studied the prospects of fast prototyping and scalability for 3D printed energy storage devices.
