      Our research is focused on nanomaterials for clean energy. The scope of research ranges from fundamental science, to applied nanotechnology and to emerging engineering issues - with a unifying theme centered upon development and application of novel nanomaterials for energy systems and devices. Specifically, our research activities are currently concentrated on developing various approaches to synthesize low-dimensional nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, semiconducting and metal nanowires, nanoparticles and thin films as well as exploring their applications as electrochemical electrodes for energy conversion and storage including fuel cells and Li batteries.


1. Controlled Synthesis of Nanostructured Materials

The work on nanostructured synthesis includes three aspects: (i) nano carbon synthesis including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), doped CNTs, graphene and doped grapheme; (ii) nanowires, non-carbon nantubes and core/shell structure; and (iii) thin films and nanocomposites such as atomic layer deposition (ALD). The focus is on the synthesis, characterization, structure and properties of the nanostructures, with special emphasis on the fundamental understanding of their growth mechanisms and structural control.

For CNT work, various chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods have been developed including (i) a floating catalyst CVD method (using a solid hydrocarbon source); (ii) an Ohmically heated and specially designed CVD method (using a gas hydrocarbon source); (iii) an aerosol-assisted CVD method (using a liquid hydrocarbon source); (iv) injection spray CVD method; and (d) a plasma-enhanced CVD (PECVD) method. For nanowire work, the approaches we are using include chemical vapor deposition, template and solution-based routes.

2. Development of Low-Cost and High-Performance PEM Fuel Cells

High cost and low stability are two main challenges for fuel cells. We are addressing them by developing novel catalysts and catalyst supports for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). We have developed carbon nanostructures (e.g. carbon nanotubes, nitrogen-doped CNTs and graphene) and non-carbon nanostructures (e.g. metal oxide nanowires) as Pt catalyst supports and it was demonstrated that they showed superior performance than commercially-used carbon black as support.

The focus of this research is to fabricate three-dimensional and highly efficient fuel cell electrodes by using advanced nanomaterials such as nanotubes and nanowires synthesized in Dr. Sun’s lab as supports for Pt-based nanoparticle electrocatalysts. It is expected that integrated three-dimensional nanotube- and nanowire-based fuel cell electrodes will be the ideal materials for providing a higher catalytic performance, high catalyst utilization, efficient mass transport, and a longer fuel cell operational life. This innovative research could significantly lower the cost (toward the commercially visible target) and improve the stability of fuel cells, thereby accelerating the fuel cell commercialization process.

3. Nanostructured Electrodes for Lithium Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery (LIB) is one of the most promising power systems because it can offer a higher operative voltage and energy density. Our group got involved in the development of novel nanomaterials as cathodes and anodes for LIB. At cathodes, we focus on understanding and synthesis of LiFePO4/carbon composites and various coatings on NMC. At anodes, we are working on nanocarbon, Sn- and Si-based nanostructures.

4. Nanostructured Electrodes for Lithium Air Batteries

Li-Air batteries have been attracting much attention due to their extremely high energy density. However, one critical challenge to be addressed is the slow rate of oxygen reduction in the cathode electrode. We addressed the challenge by applying various nanostructured materials (e.g. metal oxides and their composites with carbon nanotubes and graphene) as catalysts in Li-air batteries. The objectives of our research are to develop (i) three-dimensional cathode structure (ii) efficient novel catalysts by synthesizing various nanostructures.
