Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yongkun Yu"
- Yongkun Yu's recent research focuses on advancing lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery technology by addressing critical challenges such as the polysulfide shuttle effect, sluggish redox kinetics, and stability of lithium metal anodes through innovative materials and designs.
- Notable contributions include the development of an ultra-thin polyamide layer for significant improvement in separator performance, and the application of single-atom catalysts (e.g., Co and Ni) to enhance catalytic activity and mitigate shuttle effects in Li-S batteries.
- Additionally, Yu explores advanced structural designs, such as a carbon nanotube framework with gradient lithiophilicity and multilayer structures, which synergistically promote cycling performance and stability in lean-lithium metal battery configurations.
