[Six Research Teams]

Hi-GEM is a research center focusing on the development and application of green energy materials, specifically integrating domestic materials, chemical, electrical, optoelectronic, physical, industrial design and other academic majors. It includes six major research teams, such as (Ⅰ) all solid-state batteries, (Ⅱ) secondary batteries, (Ⅲ) super capacitors, (Ⅳ) solar cells, (Ⅴ) fuel cells, and (Ⅵ) integrated energy system to achieve the goal of Taiwan's key green energy material autonomy. At the same time, based on solid core technology, including the development and upgrading of new photoelectric active materials, the development of electrode materials, modification and interface, as well as the improvement of ion conductivity and stability of electrolyte materials are the major goals to achieve. By mastering the common core technology of key components, we can develop novel green energy materials and apply them to various energy-generating and energy storage green energy components. In terms of industrial impact, the company will implement the central contribution of the center to the country and industry with two commercialization strategies such as product design and industry spillover. With the cooperation between universities, colleges, and research teams, we will bring together domestic and international technology, talent and industry resources to make continuous breakthroughs in the advanced battery field.

Green energy development is a key part of "The 5+2 Industrial Transformation Plan" and "Six Core Strategic Industries". The goal of energy transition in 2025 would be realized only through the stable operation of renewable energy. To seize the opportunity of global economy reordering in the post pandemic era, the government will keep driving investments in Taiwan with "Three Major Programs for Investing in Taiwan", aiming to establish Taiwan as a reliable partner about advanced manufacturing, high-tech R&D, advanced semiconductor processes, and green energy development in Asia, and also laying the groundwork for economic development in the coming decades.

Because of the impact of Covid-19, the local supply chain has been upgraded to a strategic position, and risk management in the energy industry also becomes an important part of national security, accelerating the autonomy of "key green energy materials". Initially, the green energy industry was promoted by agreements between governments and international conferences (top-down), while gradually, driven by large private enterprise and their global supply chains (bottom-up) would accelerate the industrialization of renewable energy. In Taiwan, large manufacturing industries (semiconductors) have been integrated with green energy industries. The coronavirus has raised more concerns about the environment in which humans live, and dicersity advanced batteries will be an indispensable source of motivation for countries to develop contactless, remote intelligence services. Fortunately, Hi-GEM has set up ahead of schedule, exerting our international influence on academic research and technological innovation. We will move towards helping the industry overcome its current technical difficulties and raise the self-reliance rate of key green energy materials in Taiwan, making an effort to develop Taiwan into an Asian green energy center.
