We think big, about very, very small.
Our group focuses on interface issues in the all-solid-state Li-ion batteries and Mg batteries, such as the high interfacial resistance and Li dendrite formation.
We aim to reveal the behind degradation mechanisms and provide guidelines for designing novel energy materials.
We mainly applied multi-scale computation and simulation methods, including:
1. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations on the atomic scale to calculate and materials properties and design the materials atom by atom.
2. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the continuum scale to simulate the coupling reactions in batteries, such as electrochemical reactions, mass transfers, mechanical deformations, heat transfer, etc.
