Welcome
Welcome to Dr. Leiting Zhang (张雷霆) and his research team’s website! We are a young and dynamic team, located at the Ångström Advanced Battery Centre, Uppsala Univeristy. Our research vision is to bridge fundamental understandings of battery components, particularly electrodes, electrolytes, and interphases, with technological and methodological breakthroughs in the production and operando/online assessment of high-performance and sustainable batteries. For more details, please refer to Research.
