Introduction

In our laboratory, we major in solid ionic/electronic conduct, which is used in energy areas including solid oxide fuel cells, solar cells, lithium ion batteries, and vanadium redox batteries, among others. Students in our lab will learn how to prepare ceramic materials, identify material structure using X-ray diffraction, measure electrochemical properties of ionic devices, and assemble sold oxide fuel cell solar cells etc.
