The Organic Energy Materials Team at the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences, focuses on fundamental research and technological development of energy storage and conversion devices including lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and next generation high-energy-density batteries. The group has been published over 300 peer reviewed papers, licensed 42 patents (China patents 40; US patents 12) related with energy materials so far. Among these patents, 14 patents has been transferred to Industry with 2 spin-off companies to commercialize the electrolyte and binder materials at Guangzhou (Guangdong) and Zhoushan (Zhejiang), respectively. The current research centers on the R&D of new materials and high energy density batteries for energy storage including safe electrolytes, functional electrolyte additives, organic pre-lithiation materials, and electrode materials such as Si anode and metal fluorides.
