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领域。锂离子电池(Lib)的单位体积储存的能量比任何其他便携式充电电池都要多。然而，未来LiB的能量密度只有通过对其活性材料进行根本性改变才能显著提高。我的发现资助研究计划专注于使用通过创新的合成方法制备的纳米材料来改进电极材料，因为它们提供了更好的电化学性能，从而导致更高的速度和更大的功率。

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.
