Novel nanoscale electrode materials

可再生能源是加拿大目前的战略计划之一，但储存这种能源的能力是一个不发达的地区。锂离子电池（LIB）每体积存储的能量比任何其他便携式可充电电池都多。然而，未来LIB的能量密度只有通过彻底改变其活性材料才能显著提高。我的发现基金研究项目集中于改进电极材料，使用通过创新合成方法制备的纳米材料，因为它们提供了改进的电化学性能，从而导致更高的速率和更大的功率。

Renewable energy is among Canada's current strategic plans, yet the ability to store this energy is an underdeveloped area. Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) store more energy per volume than any other portable rechargeable battery. However, the energy density of future LIB will only improve significantly through radical changes to its active materials. My Discovery Grant research program concentrates on improving electrode materials using nanomaterials prepared through innovated synthetic approaches as they offer improved electrochemical properties, which leads to higher rate and more power.
