Welcome to Laboratory for Charge Transport in Solids!

欢迎来到材料载流子传输实验室!

Ions and electrons are the key charge carriers that governs the performance in energy conversion devices, such as fuel cells, electrolyzers and solar cells. To improve the material properties such as the ionic conductivity or electronic conductivity, in our lab, we develop and use experimental techniques to understand the correlation between the material structure and the fundamental charge carrier behaviors. The new knowledge paves the way for rational design of novel materials for low cost-high efficiency devices. Our current research interests include:

  • Proton conductivity in ceramic fuel cell electrolytes
  • Charge carrier transport in semiconductors and electrodes
  • In-situ spectroscopic methods for material chemistry and physics

We welcome motivated postdocs, graduate students and undergraduate students to contact us for opening positions! Interested? Please contact qianli.chen@sjtu.edu.cn.

离子和电子的传导是决定燃料电池、电解池和太阳能电池等能源转换器件性能的关键因素。为了提高材料性能,如离子电导率和电子电导率,我们开发并使用实验表征方法,以阐释材料结构与电荷载流子输运行为之间的联系。研究结果为低成本、高效率的新能源材料与器件的合理设计奠定基础。我们的研究方向包括:

  • 陶瓷燃料电池电解质中的质子传导
  • 半导体与电极材料中的电荷载流子传输
  • 材料物理与化学原位光谱表征方法
