Material science refers to the study of the composition, structure, technology, properties and the relationship between properties of materials, and provides scientific basis for the design, manufacture, process optimization and rational use of materials.

Both mobile phones and laptops use lithium-ion batteries, also known as lithium batteries. Batteries generally use lithium-containing materials as electrodes, which is the representative of modern high-performance batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries belong to the category of energy materials, and the research major belongs to material science.

Extended data:

At present, there are six main research directions in materials science, namely:

1, new theory and technology of powder metallurgy;

2. Phase diagram research and material design;

3, powder metallurgy special new materials;

4. Alloying theory of nonferrous metals and rare metal materials and development of new materials;

5. Modern high performance composites:

6, non-ferrous metal functional materials. The common characteristics of the six research directions are: the research content belongs to the frontier subject of the discipline and the international hot research topic, which is innovative; Closely combined with the main battlefield of national economic construction, it is practical;

Each research direction is supported by national or provincial key projects, and the implementation process is highly credible; A high-level academic team with reasonable structure and good research conditions can achieve the expected research goals and have good prospects for sustainable development.
