Research summary
AI-generated

Yikang Yu's work centers on batteries, especially improving the anodes (the negative electrode) and cathodes of lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and potassium-ion batteries to make them last longer, charge faster, and store more energy. The research includes protective coatings for metal electrodes, techniques to prevent early loss of lithium, and materials to improve fast charging and low-temperature performance. Some publications extend into related areas such as nanomaterials, catalysts for fuel cells, and power electronics, indicating a mix of core battery chemistry work and occasional interdisciplinary projects.
