Background
Developing new energy materials is a key step toward satisfying the needs for next-generation
energy conversion and storage devices. Complex oxides are widely used in many energy
technologies owing to their fascinating properties, including electrocatalytic activity,
and ionic and electronic conductivity. In particular, a new class of nanostructured
oxide materials can yield many intriguing physicochemical properties that are unattainable
in the bulk oxides, and thus have become critical to improve the performance of many
energy devices, such as fuel cells, batteries, solar cells, and thermoelectric devices.
Dr. Lee's research interests lie at the intersection of synthesizing functional oxide
materials by atomic control, understanding energy conversion and storage mechanisms
as well as the physicochemical properties of materials, and applying a fundamental
understanding to design advanced energy conversion and storage devices including solid
oxide fuel cells, solid-state batteries, solar thermoelectric generators, and solar
to fuel energy conversion devices.
