Currently, lithium-ion batteries represent the state-of-the-art technology; however, they suffer from moderate energy density, safety concerns, and limited lithium resources, which concurrently restrict their large-scale applications. To tackle these challenges, we integrate the knowledge of chemical bonding, intercalation reactions, material sciences, and electrochemistry to develop next-generation batteries for energy storage. The research focus will be devoted to solid-state batteries with higher energy density, aqueous batteries for higher safety, and post-lithium batteries (Na, K, H, Zn, etc.) for more sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Publications:<br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 14px\">Wu<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14px\">, J.
