BEST Lab

Today, BEST Lab felt a little different — not just a place for research, but a place full of warmth. In between experiments and deadlines, the students secretly planned a birthday surprise. No grand setup, just heartfelt moments: candlelight on a cake, handwritten notes, and a simple yet genuine “Happy Birthday, Prof. Su.” Research can be demanding, but it’s people like this — thoughtful, dedicated, and kind — that make the journey truly meaningful. BEST is not just a lab. It

We are proud to announce that BEST Lab members Anlin Shaju  and Aleesha K. Paulose  have received the Bronze Award  at the NYCU 2025 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Academic Poster Competition . Their award-winning poster, titled “Interface Engineering via Anion-Driven SEI Coordination in Silver-Nucleated Lithium Metal Batteries,” was completed under the supervision of Prof. Yu-Sheng Su . This research focuses on innovative interface engineering strategies for lithium me

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. ✨
