With the rapid development of electric vehicle industry, higher requirements are put forward for the energy density and power density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The key of high performance LIBs relies on the electrode materials. Therefore, the development of new electrode materials with higher specific capacity and better cycle life has always been the key to the development of LIBs. We commit to the research and development of high-performance electrode (cathode and anode) materials for LIBs.

  The limited lithium resource and poor safety constrain the application of LIBs in large-scale energy storage. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop alternative rechargeable batteries with low cost, acceptable safety, and long cycle life. Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are considered promising energy storage devices for large-scale energy storage systems as a consequence of their safety benefits and low cost. In this project, we focus on the energy storage mechanisms of new cathode materials with high specific capacity and long cycle life for ZIBs.
