Likun Zhu's research focuses on materials and mechanisms for advanced batteries, particularly lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. Much of the work examines how electrode materials (such as metal oxides, phosphorus, germanium, and liquid metals) behave chemically and mechanically during charging and discharging, often using advanced imaging techniques like X-ray microscopy to observe these processes in real time. This research aims to improve battery capacity, durability, and safety.
