电极材料在充放电过程中，由于金属离子的嵌入与脱出，原有材料的体积将发生膨胀与收缩，反复充放电便会造成电极粉化与脱落，进而降低电池的循环寿命。本课题组围绕缓解电极材料体积效应这一科学问题开展了系列型工作。

    本课题组发现通过零体积效应的Li₅TiO₄包覆Fe₂O₃(图1a)，可以缓解充放电过程中Fe₂O₃的体积膨胀，提高Fe₂O₃的储锂性能，该成果发表在 ACS Appl. Mater. Inter., 2014, 6, 4514。以FeOOH为前驱体(图1b-d)，煅烧过程中由于前驱体自身的体积收缩而出现纳米空隙，此纳米间隙可以缓解铁氧化物的体积效应，提高铁氧化物的储锂性能，并通过碳包覆提高了电极材料的导电性，相关研究成果发表在Electrochim. Acta, 2016, 195, 94；J. Power Sources, 2017, 334, 74；J. Power Sources, 2017, 356, 7。2017年，发现双金属氧化物可以起到协同作用，利用各自嵌脱锂的电位不同，降低材料的粉化，提升电极的稳定性(图1e) (Chen, M.* et al. ACS Appl. Mater. Inter., 2017, 9, 24662)。
