Summary
Probing interfacial impedance in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. This project aims to investigate the mechanism behind the high impedance at the interface between electrodes and the solid electrolyte in solid-state lithium-ion batteries using advanced in-situ transmission electron microscopy. The outcomes will deepen knowledge in chemical and structural evolution at the electrode–electrolyte interface during battery operation under different conditions, and thus inform the design and fabr ....Probing interfacial impedance in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. This project aims to investigate the mechanism behind the high impedance at the interface between electrodes and the solid electrolyte in solid-state lithium-ion batteries using advanced in-situ transmission electron microscopy. The outcomes will deepen knowledge in chemical and structural evolution at the electrode–electrolyte interface during battery operation under different conditions, and thus inform the design and fabrication of safe, high power, and long lasting solid-state batteries for a myriad of portable electronic devices and the emerging electric vehicles.Read moreRead less
Synergistic nanostimulation of nerve cells using atomic force microscopy technology. The research will develop multifunctional nanoelectrodes for neural prosthetic devices of the future. They will be smaller and more effective, enabling integration with single neural networks in the body, to improve the clinical treatment of severe neurological disorders and loss of sensory (hearing and vision) and motor functions.
