#TheBatteryShow
With the wide application of batteries in our current mobile society, the safety issues of batteries have become one of the top concerns. Emerging in-situ/operando characterizations, advanced experimental approaches, and modeling methodologies have been proposed to enhance understanding of the fundamental science of battery safety behaviors and provide powerful design tools for the next-generation safe battery.
We have witnessed significant scientific research breakthroughs and engineering technology development in academia and industries in recent years. In the meantime, due to the complexity of the batteries as energy storage systems, fundamental problems remain unsolved or even unidentified, hindering the further development of the battery-related industry. In this context, the Battery Safety Workshop (BSW) has been focusing on battery safety research topics since 2022. This annual workshop aims to provide an informative and inclusive forum to discuss the state-of-the-art research progress in the battery safety area. Attendees may include scientists, researchers, and engineers in academia and industry to inspire collaborative and synergic efforts toward solving battery safety issues.
Registration for the workshop can be acquired through the University of South Carolina Marketplace within the College of Engineering and Computing portal. Workshop registration is $500 with a discounted student registration of $150 with the presentation of a poster (strongly encouraged but not required).
2024 Battery Safety Workshop Regular Registration - $500

The lab focuses on solid-state battery research to overcome traditional lithium batteries' safety and energy density issues, supporting environmental sustainability. It develops innovative solid-state electrolytes, refines electrode materials, and investigates ion transfer and interface stability to revolutionize battery technology.
The electric vehicle battery industry is rapidly developing, focusing on technological innovation, market competition, and sustainability. Research hotspots include solid-state batteries, new types of electrolytes, BMS optimization, and recycling technologies. The environmental adaptability, safety, and economic viability of batteries are key research areas, and the industry is expected to undergo more innovation and transformation.
Electric Hoverboard, electric scooters, e bikes, and electric motorcycles are changing the way people travel, with the development of battery technology being at the core of this transformation. The main issues faced by electric bicycle batteries include battery cost, range, the popularity of charging infrastructure, thermal management of batteries, and safety. As battery technology continues to advance, it provides more reliable power support for these intelligent devices.
We specialize in battery preparation technology research, focusing on overcoming existing energy storage challenges by innovating in electrode materials, battery chemistry, and manufacturing processes to improve performance, enhance safety, and reduce costs. Sustainability and recycling technologies for batteries are also emphasized to mitigate environmental impacts and foster the growth of green energy.
