Development of Sustainable Cathode Materials in All-Solid-State Batteries

Abstract (english version):

Among the various energy storage devices, lithium-ion batteries have been successfully applied in our daily lives with their high energy density, scale flexibility, and low maintenance cost. However, with the fast-increasing demand for Li-ion batteries, the sustainability of battery production, especially the conventional lithium metal oxide cathodes, faces challenges related to resource scarcity and supply chain issues. In addition, intrinsic limitations of safety and energy densities of battery materials will cause conventional lithium-ion batteries to approach a bottleneck in the near future.

Dr. Xia Li’s research focuses on the development of next-generation all-solid-state batteries beyond conventional Li-ion batteries to overcome the challenges in practical application. In this talk, Dr. Li will present her research on understanding and designing the key materials in next-generation batteries, such as lithium-sulfur batteries and lithium-organic batteries.
