At EI2 Lab , we focus on advancing electrochemistry, materials, and engineering as an integrated platform to build technologies for a sustainable and resilient future. We focus on the ion conductor and its interface with other materials. We aim to understand the ion/electron transportation in the conductor, and the chemo-electro-mechanics behavior at these materials interface. By understanding and ultimately controlling these interfaces, we will enable the development of advanced energy systems and electronic devices, including high energy Li/Na batteries, all-solid-state batteries, sensors, switch, electrochemical transistors, with scalable architectures for real-world applications.

The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is one of the founding Schools of the Nanyang Technological University. Built on a culture of excellence, the School is renowned for its high academic standards and research. With over 3,000 undergraduates students and 1,000 graduate students it is one of the largest EEE schools in the world and ranks 10th in the field of Electrical & Electronic Engineering in the 2024 QS World University Rankings by Subjects.Today, the School has become one of the world's largest engineering schools that nurtures competent engineers and researchers. Each year, the School graduates over a thousand students who are ready to take on great ambitions and challenges.For more details, please view:
