(July 21, 2017) Prof. Feng Lin has received a highly competitive 2017 Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award. The $5,000 Powe Award, which is matched by Virginia Tech, will support the Lin lab in developing high energy and safe cathode materials for next-generation lithium batteries. These materials will accelerate the development of reliable battery technologies for consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and grid energy storage. At Virginia Tech, the Lin Lab focuses on developing advanced materials for batteries and catalysis.
