Battery NMR Research Group

Led by Bin Jiang, the group studies battery materials through NMR-based structural and dynamical characterization, with emphasis on linking atomic-scale information to electrochemical behavior at the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology, CAS.

Our recent work focuses on the intersection of battery materials, solid-state NMR, spectroscopy, and data-driven research for advanced energy-storage systems.

Group Overview

The group is led by Bin Jiang, who received his PhD from the Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2008. His research started from NMR principles and new techniques, and in recent years has expanded toward interdisciplinary work combining artificial intelligence, battery materials, and NMR. The group is based at the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology, CAS.
