Research Interests

Prof. Huang’s research interest lies in the field of Materials Science, with a particular focus on the fabrication of Graphene-based materials. These advanced materials are employed in various Energy Storage Applications, including Lithium-ion batteries, Silicon batteries, Aluminum-ion batteries and Zinc-ion batteries.

Graphene, known for its exceptional electrical conductivity, mechanical strength and high surface area, plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of these energy storage devices. In Lithium-ion batteries, Graphene can be used as an additive to improve electrode conductivity and capacity, resulting in longer battery life and faster charging times. For Silicon batteries, which offer higher energy density compared to traditional Lithium-ion batteries, Graphene helps mitigate the volume expansion issues associated with Silicon Anodes, thus improving the overall stability and lifespan of the batteries.

In the case of Aluminum-ion batteries, Graphene's high conductivity and flexibility contribute to higher charge and discharge rates, making these batteries more efficient and reliable. Similarly, for Zinc-ion batteries, which are considered safer and more environmentally friendly, Graphene enhances the electrochemical performance, providing better energy density and cycle stability.

The unique properties of Graphene, such as its two-dimensional structure, high thermal conductivity and chemical stability, enable significant advancements in energy storage technology. By integrating Graphene into various battery chemistries, it is possible to achieve superior performance metrics, including increased energy density, improved cycle life and enhanced safety features. Prof. Huang's research aims to explore and optimize these Graphene-based materials to push the boundaries of what is possible in energy storage, ultimately contributing to the development of more efficient and sustainable energy solutions.
