The performance of solid composite electrodes is closely tied to their microstructure. By strategically ‘softening’ solid electrolytes and ‘hardening’ redox materials, we show the relative hardness can be reversed to form favorable microstructure.

New in Advanced Energy Materials, we report the importance of understanding Li metal deformation properties to improve solid-state battery performance. @UHEngineering @uhoustonenergy

Alloying Li with 3 at% of Mg alters the metal's deformation behavior from Voce hardening to Swift hardening. This shift enables the metal to strengthen with increasing strain instead of unconstrain...

We reported in @NatureNano real-time visualization of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) dynamics using a new optical microscopy. Great collaboration with Xiaonan Shan’s group over last four years.
UH ECE professors @YanYao2 and Xiaonan Shen (@UHEngineering) have led efforts to develop a new microscope that not only reveals the inner workings of lithium-ion batteries but also stands to revamp the next generation of batteries to come.
