Biography:

InNovember 2015, I joined Hefei University of Technology, where I havededicated my career to developing large-scale preparation of novelenergy conversion and storage materials. I have published more than20 first-author or corresponding-author research papers. My workembodies a commitment to innovation and sustainable technologies,with the ultimate goal of driving positive change in energy storageand smart glass technology.

ResearchInterests：

Innovativecathode materials are high expected to advance lithium-ion batterytechnology. My first aim is to enhance battery energy density andperformance, contributing to a more sustainable and electrifiedfuture. Flexible electrochromic devices can revolutionize lightingand climate control in buildings and vehicles. Creating these devicesis another interest of mine that has the potential to significantlyreduce energy consumption and promote environmental sustainability. Iemploy DFT simulations to gain insights into the atomic-levelproperties and electronic structures of materials. This computationalapproach helps me better comprehend material behavior and guide thedesign of materials for energy storage and electrochromicapplications. These research interests collectively align with theurgent need for carbon reduction and sustainable energy solutions,driving my commitment to addressing these global challenges.

Keywords:Cathode materials; flexible electrochromic devices; densityfunctional theory
