Energy Materials and Devices
The research area of Energy Materials and Devices aims to investigate various kinds of energy conversion and storage. The scope covers ferroelectric/dielectric materials for energy conversion and storage: dielectric materials for energy storage, electro-caloric cooling and catalysts; down- and up-conversion phosphors for photovoltaics and lighting; triboelectric nanogenerators; materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage: metal-ion batteries and supercapacitors; organic photovoltaics; perovskite solar cells; photocatalysts and electrocatalysts; Heterogeneous catalysis and CO2 utilization, etc.
