Ph.D. Program in Biomedical Engineering and Medical Devices/ Laboratory in Functional materials
My laboratory focuses on the functional materials. The following are my current research interests to share for you.

My team develops next-generation supercapattery device (i.e., the intergation of a Li-based battery and a hybrid supercapacitor) with the high-energy density from the battery-type material and the high-power density from the supercapacitor-type material. In the supercapacitor side, layered 2D MXene materials will be synthesized with activated carbon (AC) to form a hybrid MXene-AC composite as the novel and more potential electrode. On the other hand, in battery side, more portentail lithium-based oxides (e.g., Li4Ti5O12, LiFePO4, and LiCoO2) as the battery-type electrode. The approach of hybridizing supercapacitors and batteries can reinforce the properties of the two dissimilar systems offering opportunities for the next-generation energy storage devices. The hybrid supercapattery device with synergic effect (i.e., high power density, high energy density, and fast charging-discharging time) to enhance energy storage performances will likely be a developing roadway to offer opportunities for next-generation energy storage applications.

On the other hand, my team also develops dielectric capacitance with a fast charge-discharge time, high power density, fatigue resistance, and thermal stability, it can be developed as some applications such as hybrid electric vehicles, pacemaker, integrated circuit, laser weapon, electromagnetic gun, ion accelerator, plasma technology.  We combine perovskite ferroelectric materials (BiFeO3, BaZrTiO3, NaTaO3, NaNbO3) and glass systems to produce a relaxor ferroelectric dielectric capacitors with optimized energy storage properties. The purpose of combining the perovskite relaxor ferroelectric ceramics and glass systems is to develop entropy configuration that offers attractive features identified to be phase-stabilization, sluggish diffusion, and lattice mismatch and distortion. The optimized compositions will be utilized for the process approach in fabricating the multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) via the tape casting technique in order to maximize the superior energy storage properties in dielectric ceramics for actual industrial application. The process approach will focus in designing parallel MLCC device with large Wrec, high and Eb, fast charging-discharging time, excellent fatigue- and thermal-stability.

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), Taiwan

Job Description

Our team focuses on the sustainable development and the advanced technologies of high-performance energy storage. This project aims to develop next-generation lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) through the integration of carbon based electrodes derived from plastic waste and advanced LDH/MOF composite materials, thereby addressing both environmental and energy challenges. In the first stage, plastic-derived activated carbon with tailored mesoporous amorphous structures will be synthesized through systematic optimization of activation and carbonization parameters. Comprehensive material characterization and electrochemical evaluation will be conducted using a three electrode Li/Li+ half-cell configuration to elucidate the electric double-layer capacitive (EDLC) behavior and charge-storage kinetics. Based on half-cell performance, the most promising porous carbon material will be employed to fabricate a symmetric full-cell device, enabling practical assessment of energy density, power density and cycling stability. The second stage focuses on enhancing charge-storage functionality by introducing partially crystalline porous carbon integrated with metal organic framework (MOF) and layered double hydroxide (LDH) composites. The partially crystalline carbon composite on MOF/LDH hybrid will be evaluated in a Li/Li+ half-cell to investigate battery-type faradaic storage mechanisms and to optimize redox activity, conductivity, and structural stability. Subsequently, an asymmetric LIC will be assembled using the partial crystalline carbon composite on MOF and LDH, respectively, as the anode and the optimized plastic-derived amorphous activated carbon as the cathode. LICs device-level optimization, including mass balancing and electrochemical tuning, will be performed to maximize energy and power synergy. Our goal proposes a plastic waste transferred into high-value energy storage materials, while bridging the gaps of kinetic and capacity between capacitor-type and battery-type electrodes. The outcomes are expected to advance LIC technology toward environmentally friendly and high-performance supercapacitor for future applications in suitable energy storage solutions.

Preferred Intern Educational Level

The students need to be the qualification above master's degree, and it will be better for Ph.D. student.

Skill sets or Qualities

The application candidate is interested in the vacancy, who needs with electrochemistry background and work experience in supercapacitor.
