Research Overview

Professor Guo and her students study the fundamental properties of electrode materials for energy storage. They develop facile and low-cost processing methods and address critical issues in rechargeable batteries and other energy storage devices. She is particularly focused on developing the next generation of high performance batteries that will power electric cars and a green energy grid for a more sustainable future.

She has established a research program in nanomaterials for different applications,
such as lithium ion batteries, supercapacitors, hydrogen storage and fuel
cells. Substantial research work has been done under her supervision on the
synthesis of nanomaterials, properties characterization and testing, and
investigation of the reaction mechanism of nanomaterials electrodes. For
example, by combining nano-composition preparation, surface modification and/or
element substitution techniques, she has significantly improved the
electrochemical capacity and cycling stability of a number of electrode
materials for lithium ion batteries. Through more than 15 years of intensive
research at the University of Wollongong, a set of technologies has been well
established.

Research Overview

Professor Guo and her students study the fundamental properties of electrode materials for energy storage. They develop facile and low-cost processing methods and address critical issues in rechargeable batteries and other energy storage devices. She is particularly focused on developing the next generation of high performance batteries that will power electric cars and a green energy grid for a more sustainable future.

She has established a research program in nanomaterials for different applications,
such as lithium ion batteries, supercapacitors, hydrogen storage and fuel
cells. Substantial research work has been done under her supervision on the
synthesis of nanomaterials, properties characterization and testing, and
investigation of the reaction mechanism of nanomaterials electrodes. For
example, by combining nano-composition preparation, surface modification and/or
element substitution techniques, she has significantly improved the
electrochemical capacity and cycling stability of a number of electrode
materials for lithium ion batteries. Through more than 15 years of intensive
research at the University of Wollongong, a set of technologies has been well
established.
