Achievement

Recently our IGERT team advanced intercolated ions in graphene multilayer for next-generation high-density batteries and high-temperature superconductors. This is an important advancement for renewable energy and sustainable.

Recent theoretical work has shown promising graphite compounds intercolated with K, Ca with superconductivity at 11.5K. The warped Fermi surface has good potential control through electrochemistry intercolation, instead of chemical doping or device gating. We performed Raman spectroelectrochemistry and the initial results are exciting. Likewise to the earlier Research Achievement, this work requires and combines the fundamentals of physics, chemistry, and engineering core for low-power and renewable energy drives.
