Welcome to the Xu Research Group! We are a battery research group based in the Chemistry Department of University College London. Our research interest lies in the interface between materials science, electrochemistry, and solid-state chemistry, with a special emphasis on beyond-lithium battery chemistries and materials. There are three research themes in the group: intercalation chemistry of electrode materials, electrodeposition of metal anodes, and ion storage mechanism of conversion cathodes. We aim to use our knowledge and understanding to improve the performance of a range of beyond-lithium batteries.
