Introduction

The Engineering Research Center Of Materials And Technology For Electrochemical Energy Storage (hereinafter referred to as the "Engineering Center of the Ministry of Education") was approved by the Ministry of Education in December 2009. It has passed the acceptance in May 2013 and passed the first round of evaluation in December 2018 by the Ministry of Education. The technical committee of Engineering Center of the Ministry of Education is composed of 12 top experts in the field of electrochemistry as members and academician Chen Jun from Nankai University as director.

The Engineering Center of the Ministry of Education focus on the basic scientific problems, such as the construction of battery materials and the composition analysis of electrode/electrolyte interface, developing new materials and technologies for electrochemical energy storage, solving the bottleneck problems faced by the development of electrochemical energy storage devices, and providing new technologies and cultivate high-level talents for the electrochemical energy storage industry.

The Engineering Center of the Ministry of Education has 6 laboratories for simulation calculation, inorganic synthesis, organic synthesis, polymer preparation, metal electrode, and battery recycling. Also has two pilot lines of battery material preparation and performance evaluation. It involves new electrochemical energy storage devices such as lithium ion and sodium ion batteries, metal anode batteries, air cathode batteries, super capacitors, and water-based high-energy batteries.
