The Battery Research Center for Green Energy (BRCGE) was established on December 18, 2012. It is the first research center in Taiwan dedicated to battery technology R&D and pilot production. Our research focuses on lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, and next-generation battery technologies (such as all-solid-state, sodium-ion, and lithium-sulfur batteries) and their applications. Led by Chair Professor Chun-Chen Yang, the center features seven specialized laboratories providing comprehensive capabilities in material synthesis, battery manufacturing, and electrical analysis, integrating a professional team of faculty and Ph.D. researchers to drive industry-academia collaboration.

Our center is industry-oriented, providing industrial consultation, collaborative innovative technology development, and open access to research facilities for corporate applications. Our main research directions include:

• Inorganic Materials
• Organic Polymer Materials
• Battery Development
• Battery Applications and System Design

• Research Team I: Synthesis and characterization of advanced lithium-ion battery materials (e.g., LiFePO₄).
• Research Team II: Materials and components related to DMFC and PEMFC (catalysts, electrolyte membranes, MEA).
• Research Team III: Battery applications such as electric vehicles and Battery Management Systems (BMS).
• Industrial Services: Responsible for administrative affairs, equipment maintenance, and liaison between industry, government, and academia.

The center is equipped with wet processing, dry processing, high-temperature calcination, assembly, battery testing, fuel cell testing, analytical labs, polymer membrane preparation, and spray granulation labs. For detailed information, please visit the Research Facilities section of our website.

We offer testing services including XRD, XRF, UV-VIS, TGA, EA, SEM/SEM-EDX, Raman, DLS, TEM, BET, as well as battery electrical and environmental testing. Please refer to the Instrumentation Services section for the fee schedule.

This program integrates resources from various colleges and research centers within the university. It focuses on the R&D of new energy materials and battery technologies, aiming to cultivate high-level professionals with interdisciplinary engineering skills and practical industry-academia experience.

The program offers full scholarships to outstanding graduate students (excluding part-time Ph.D. students). Stipends and research grants are awarded based on academic performance each semester. Students may also receive additional allowances by serving as Research Assistants (RA) or Teaching Assistants (TA) and are eligible for dormitory fee reductions.

Applications are processed according to the admission prospectus for both Fall and Spring semesters. Quotas are available for both domestic and international students. Please refer to the university’s admissions website for application details.

The center typically provides approximately 2–3 work-study internship positions annually, subject to adjustment based on current requirements.
