About
Jim Yang Lee is a leading researcher in the field of advanced energy storage and soft robotics, with a particular focus on stretchable batteries and MXene-based electrodes. His most notable contribution is the development of a stretchable Zn-ion hybrid battery that integrates reconfigurable V₂CTₓ and Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene electrodes, a breakthrough that enables the battery to function as a magnetically actuated soft robot. This work, published in *Advanced Energy Materials* in 2021, has garnered over 39 citations, highlighting its impact on the design of wearable and implantable energy devices. Lee’s research addresses the critical challenge of energy autonomy for soft machines and biomedical devices by creating batteries that can stretch, fold, and reconfigure without losing performance. His innovative use of crumple-like microtextures in MXene electrodes allows for unique mechanical behaviors that attenuate stress during deformation. By merging energy storage with soft robotics, Lee has opened new avenues for untethered, self-powered soft systems. His work is widely recognized for its interdisciplinary approach, bridging materials science, electrochemistry, and mechanical engineering to solve real-world problems in wearable technology.
