Low-carbon Energy Systems
The low-carbon energy system (LCES) research super group (RSG) is focused on reducing carbon emission in energy systems by developing scalable, low-cost, and high-quality material. The LCES RSG combines interdisciplinary research across multiscale including modeling, synthesis, annealing, thermal measurement, and energy system design, ranging all the way from atomistic, nanoscale, device, to full-scale system.
The LCES RSG collaborates on research focused on VOx and related materials for energy-free dynamic control of passive cooling and switching, and for battery energy systems.
