Advanced Battery Research Laborator (ABRL) 차세대이차전지연구실

Our research targets the development of next-generation energy storage systems with high energy density, improved safety, and longer cycle life. We explore innovative electrode materials, electrolytes, and interfaces to enable high-performance batteries suitable for electric vehicles, grid storage, and wearable electronics. These efforts include a comprehensive study of advanced solid electrolytes, novel cathode chemistries, and metallic anodes etc. that offer high scalability and low environmental impact. Our research focuses on the development of cutting-edge battery materials to revolutionize the performance of next-generation Li-ion batteries. By exploring innovative approaches, we aim to enhance the cyclability and efficiency across various battery systems, including Li metal batteries (LMB), anode-free Li metal batteries (AFMLBs), Mg-ion/metal batteries, all-solid-state batteries, and metal-air batteries. The fast-growing markets for electrical devices have naturally forced current portable batteries to progress to the next-generation battery systems. Among many requirements for next-generation battery systems, the first task would be to ensure a high level of safety, considering that an explosion in a huge battery system could cause a large accident. In this respect, much attention has been focused on all solid state batteries (ASSBs) with the hope of developing highly safe batteries. We focus on the studies of new electrode materials, electrolytes, and anode metals for the efficient and reversible multivalent-ion batteries. We hope that our research activity can contribute to the development of low cost and practical next-generation batteries. Our research has focused on designing a broad range of air-electrode that can deliver the high capacity with high power.
