Welcome to Electrochemical Energy Storage and conversion Laboratory (EESCL)

Pioneering next-generation energy storage and conversion through advanced research in multivalent non-aqueous and aqueous batteries, supercapacitor and electrocatalysis

About Our Research

One of the greatest challenges facing humankind in the coming decades is the urgent demand for sustainable energy systems that can continuously support the advancement of modern society. At present, the global economy and quality of life still depend heavily on fossil fuels, which are limited in supply and are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. Therefore, the development of clean, efficient, and sustainable energy storage technologies has become a critical scientific and technological priority. The Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion Laboratory (EESCL) focus its research on the development of next-generation electrochemical energy storage systems, particularly sodium-ion batteries, multivalent aqueous batteries, hybrid capacitors, biomass-derived batteries, and electrocatalysis. Our research is directed toward the design of advanced electrode materials and electrochemical systems with enhanced energy density, power performance, cycling stability, safety, and sustainability.

EESCL adopts an interdisciplinary research approach that integrates materials science, electrochemistry, and energy device engineering. Through advanced materials synthesis, structural and surface characterization, and electrochemical performance evaluation, our laboratory aims to contribute to the development of innovative and practical energy technologies for a sustainable future.
