Lithium metal electrode, Electrolyte, anode materials
Hongkyung Lee is an associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Yonsei University. He received his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from KAIST (Advisor: Prof. Jung-Ki Park), South Korea (2016). During his Ph. D., his research focused on the electrochemical interfaces in Li-air batteries and core technologies for Li metal stabilization. After a postdoctoral period at KAIST (Advisor: Prof. Hee-Tak Kim), he joined the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) as a postdoctoral research associate under the supervision of Dr. Wu Xu, Dr. Jie Xiao and Dr. Ji-Guang (Jason) Zhang (2017-2019). During his career at PNNL, he contributed to the Battery500 consortium to prototype practical Li-metal pouch cells by advancing Li-metal stabilization through multi-scale interface engineering. His research interests include dendrite-free electroplating of high-capacity metallic anodes, fast-charging Li-ion, and imaging-driven battery diagnosis.
