The Materials and Interfaces for Energy Storage Lab is the core facility for EV Battery Research and Development at Western University, located in the Faculty of Engineering.
This lab focuses on advanced materials and interfaces for energy storage devices, including nanomaterials and nanostructure design and fabrication, surface and interface engineering, next-generation batteries, battery recycling, and advanced characterization for materials and interfaces. The highlight research areas in the lab include i) Atomic layer deposition and Molecular layer deposition for energy applications; ii) Solid-state Li-metal batteries; iii) Na batteries and solid-state Na batteries.
The Materials and Interfaces for Energy Storage Lab has state-of-the-art facilities for battery study, including material synthesis (Ball Mill, CVD, ALD, High-temperature furnaces, evaporation, etc.), material characterizations (XRD, SEM, IR, TGA, BET, Raman, etc.) and battery manufacturing and testing (Dry room, glove boxes, potentionstat, battery tester with temperature chambers). The research group also has close and long-term collaborations with light sources in Canada and the US (CLS, ALS, APS, etc.).
The research team includes highly qualified personnel at different levels (Postdoc, PhD, Masters and Undergraduate) with diverse backgrounds. The team continues to look for young talents to join the group for a clean energy future.
The lab closely works with industry, community, and government stakeholders to translate fundamental research into made-in-Canada battery technology for a clean energy transition. They have worked with local battery industries (such as General Motors, Flex-N-Gate) and government (CanmetMATERIALS) organizations to accelerate the goal of Net-zero emissions by 2050. This high-end facility is very open to further collaborations with different partners from academia to industry.
