Research
Nanoporous Metal evolves from the self-organization of atoms at solid/liquid interfaces. It manifests the underlying kinetics and provides exciting properties and functionalities.

Qing Chen, HKUST, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

Batteries power small electronics, cars, and even the electricity grid, enabling our transition towards renewable energy sources.
Structural Evolution plays a crucial role in determining the lifetime of electrodes. Understanding how structures evolve at nanoscales paves the way toward stable electrodes for high-performance batteries, electrolyzers, and sensors alike. 

    In-situ characterization of high-capacity electrodes to tackle stability issues.
