Advanced Li-ion Battery Electrolytes

Currently, for lithium metal anodes, silicon anodes, and lithium-sulfur cathodes, which exhibit high theoretical capacities and performances, there are several issues such as rapid degradation of cells. As a result, most materials with high theoretical capacities remain at the laboratory scale and have not been commercialized.
Our group aims to evaluate and understand various characteristics of cells using different electrolyte systems, based on electrochemical and analytical methods.
Furthermore, we seek to develop electrolyte systems suitable for alternative systems such as sodium-ion batteries and anode-free designs.
