Silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries suffer from severe volume change and sluggish through-plane ion transport in stacked graphene hosts. Here we report a dual-modulation strategy that couples thermal reduction with controlled H 2 O 2  etching to build a holey reduced graphene oxide (HRGO) framework around silicon. Reduction restores a continuous graphitic network while maintaining a compact interlayer structure; subsequent oxidative etching perforates the basal planes and

Our lab is pleased to share that Prof. Yu-Sheng Su  has successfully received a renewal of the Ministry of Education (MOE) Yushan Young Scholar Program , extending the award for an additional five-year term. The renewal recognizes sustained research productivity and continued academic development over the initial funding period. Support from the Yushan Young Scholar Program enables the lab to further pursue long-term research directions and strengthen training for young resea

Congratulations to Nguyễn Thi Thảo (PhD) , Dinh Quang Huy (MS) , and Pham Thi Dieu Linh (MS)  on reaching this important milestone. Your dedication, perseverance, and growth over the years are truly admirable. May the knowledge, skills, and spirit you cultivated here continue to guide you toward new challenges and successes ahead. Wishing you confidence, curiosity, and fulfillment in the next chapter of your journey.

This Christmas season, BEST Lab celebrated together with a joyful Secret Santa gathering. Surrounded by laughter, we shared pizza, played party games, and enjoyed a heartwarming gift exchange filled with thoughtful surprises. The event was a wonderful reminder of the strong bonds within our team. As we move forward, we look forward to growing closer, supporting one another, and building even stronger connections in the time ahead. ✨

Advancing lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) toward practical commercialization necessitates separator designs that effectively balance pore structure with interfacial chemical functionality. In this study, a unique separator architecture featuring hierarchical carbon microspheres, comprising multiscale porous carbon (MPC) cores encapsulated within functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) shells, is proposed. This structure systematically optimizes pore distribution and surfa

Exploring Mismatched Na + and Li + Electrolytes for Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 Spinel Anodes in Li-ion and Na-ion Batteries, Small Structures 6,7(2025) 探究Na + 與Li + 不匹配電解液對Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 鈦酸鋰尖晶石負極在鋰/鈉電池中的行為。 Thi Hang Vu, Lam Nguyen Phan, Xu-Feng Luo(羅旭峯), Avi Arya, Thao Nguyen, Jeng-Kuei Chang, and Yu-Sheng Su*(蘇育陞) 本研究探討Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 （LTO）尖晶石負極在「離子錯配」電解液環境下的電化學行為，系統比較四種組合：Li/Li + 、Li/Na + 、Na/Li + 以及Na/Na + ，以揭示Li + 與Na + 在不相符電解液中所造成的反直覺效應。結果顯示，傳統認為應不利反應的Li/Na + 組合反而展現最佳性能，在 0.1 C時可達
