Control of the hierarchical structure of multilength-scale materials, chemical and physical properties of materials, manipulating the interface for energy technologies
Dr. Ban's current research includes interfacial science and engineering for functional materials used in energy conversion and storage systems; mechanical-electrochemical coupling at electrode-electrolyte interface for a variety of electrochemical systems; design of new materials systems for lithium ion and multivalent ion diffusion in solid lattices for future multivalent energy storage systems; multi-modal and in situ measurements to exploit the complex functionality and process for a more thorough understanding of the mechanisms underlying the electrochemical behaviors.
