Funded Activity Summary

Unlocking carbon nano-tectonics for next-generation lithium batteries. This project aims to overcome the performance bottlenecks of lithium metal anodes through carbon nano-tectonics for next-generation lithium batteries. Lithium metal is considered the ultimate anode material for future batteries, yet its practical use has been halted by the capacity degradation and safety hazard for long-lasting use. By establishing new fundamentals of nanocarbons towards constructing high-performance lithium anode, this project will produce new-concept lithium metal batteries with high capacity, safety and durability, along with molecular-level understanding of lithium redox processes. This is expected to promote the development of future electronics, vehicles and grid with zero-emission high-energy technologies.
