About the research

Ever wish your phone battery could last a whole month?  Tú Nguyen (VITO - UHasselt) is working to make that future a reality. In her PhD research, she’s using 3D printing technology to improve battery design—building thicker electrodes with special channels to boost performance and energy storage. Her work could lead to batteries that are more powerful, more durable, and much longer-lasting.

Tú Nguyen is a PhD researcher who spends her days having fun with 3D-printed electrodes. Her work focuses on understanding how these advanced materials can improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries, with the hope that they will one day contribute to a more sustainable future. Originally from Vietnam, Tú's enthusiasm for science led her to the Netherlands, where she pursued a Master's in Nanomaterials and developed a strong interest in clean energy technologies. She is now continuing this journey through her PhD at Hasselt University and VITO, developing 3D-printed electrodes for high energy battery applications.
