Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Western Ontario
$200,000.00
Nanostructured Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage
FY 2017-18
Summary
Energy shortages and environmental pollution are serious challenges that humanity will
face for the long-term. There is a growing awareness that nanotechnology will have a
profound impact on energy generation and storage. Dr. Sun will continue to use his
expertise in nanotechnology to address challenges in use for clean energy. The
objective of this Chair is to lead a vigorous research program on the rational design, controlled synthesis and understanding of various nanostructured materials as electrodes to address challenges in fuel cells and Li batteries, thereby accelerating the fuel cell and Li-Air battery commercialization process.
