Research Interest
My research primarily focuses on the development of porous separators, polymer electrolytes, and electrodes for advanced energy storage systems, including zinc-ion, zinc-air, and zinc-iodine batteries, as well as electrolyzers for sustainable hydrogen production. Furthermore, my research interests extend to polymer-based medical devices, such as strain sensors for motion detection, PM2.5 filter masks, and drug-release membranes.
