Synchrotron access today, in-house instrumentation as the lab is established at Taiwan Tech.
The group launches at Taiwan Tech in August 2026. The in-house instrumentation listed below is planned for the lab and will come online progressively as funding is secured.
The work the group is known for, however, happens at synchrotron light sources. We maintain established access at Taiwan's NSRRC and an active collaboration at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne for advanced X-ray characterization of working batteries.
Multi-channel testing for galvanostatic cycling, rate capability, and long-term studies.
Precision electrochemical workstation: cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep, chronoamperometry, and EIS.
Inert-atmosphere workstation for moisture- and oxygen-sensitive material handling, cell assembly, and solid-electrolyte processing.
Blade-free centrifugal mixer for homogeneous slurry preparation and dry powder mixing — bubble-free results without manual intervention.
Pouch-cell densification by uniform isostatic pressure through a hydraulic medium. Unlike uniaxial pressing, the pressure transmits equally from all directions for uniform compaction.
High-energy milling for solid-electrolyte synthesis, composite-cathode preparation, and mechanochemical synthesis of battery materials.
Beamtime for operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), small-angle scattering (SAXS), and transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) on battery samples under realistic operating conditions.
Through ongoing collaboration with the imaging group at APS and Prof. Shirley Meng's group at the University of Chicago, we access world-class X-ray micro-computed tomography and high-energy synchrotron beamlines for 3D non-destructive battery characterization.
We welcome partners working on battery characterization, materials synthesis, or shared beamline projects. Reach out to discuss possibilities.
