Currently, I am a master candidate enrolled in Spring 2017 in University of Arkansas. I will graduate this December as a master. My current research is interfacial tailoring of lithium ion battery using atomic layer deposition (ALD), ALD is exclusively for inorganic materials in a layer by layer mode based on a self-limiting and gas-phase reaction at atomic scale, the prepared materials such as Al2O3, TiO2, ZnO can be precisely controlled over thickness (nm) and quality. The growth rate (Å/cycle) will be different from growth temperature and precursors. Last year in the lab, I helped set up the electrochemical working stations, two battery testing systems and one electrochemical impedance dpectroscopy (EIS) testing device. I published one bookchapter about lithium dendrite inhibition and one review about lithium sulfur battery.
