Our lab welcomes 3 new young scholars, 2 from China and 1 from Germany. They are Mr. Peter Smyrek, Dr. Yuren Wen dan Dr. Guicheng Liu. Mr. Peter is a Ph.D student of Karlsruhe Institute for Technology, Dr. Yuren is a post-doctoral fellow at Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Dr. Guicheng Liu is new post-doctoral fellow at AEMPL.

At our lab, Mr. Peter will do research on his topic related to Nickle-Manganese-Cobalt oxide using surface laser modification. In particular, electrochemical measurement such as cycle and rate capability, as well as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy will be carried out during his stay. Together with our counterpart, Matin and Hudaya, Mr. Peter will coat his electodes with the plasma-polymerized fullerene (C60) in order to enhance the performance of the cathode, especially in high-voltage cut-off.

Dr. Yuren Wen, a member of. Prof. Gu Lin’s Lab, will discuss with Jung Sub Kim and A-Young Kim related to the cooperative works on Germanium-based anode and lithium-sulfur battery, respectively.

Dr. Guicheng Liu will stay in our lab at least for about 2.5 years. At AEMPL he will combine his expertise on solar power (DSSC) with our core expertise on energy storage system.

Again, welcome to our new fellow at AEMPL!
