Zinc-anode reversibility and capacity inflection as an evaluation criterion

Abstract

Zhuoxi Wu is currently a PhD student at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in City University of Hong Kong, under the supervision of Professor Chunyi Zhi. His current research mainly focuses on zinc-anode reversibility improvement and electrolyte modification of zinc-ion battery.

Yu Wang is a postdoc in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at City University of Hong Kong in Professor Chunyi Zhi’s group. Her current research mainly focuses on advanced aqueous zinc-ion batteries and the design of advanced metallic anodes. Dr. Wang obtained her bachelor’s and master’s degree in chemistry from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2012 and 2014. She obtained her PhD from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and mainly focuses on Li-air and aqueous Li-ion batteries.

Chunyi Zhi obtained a PhD in condensed matter physics from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. After 2 years of being a postdoc at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan, he was promoted to ICYS researcher, researcher (faculty), and senior researcher (permanent position) in NIMS. Dr. Zhi is now a chair professor at Department of Materials Science and Engineering in City University of Hong Kong. Dr. Zhi has extensive experience in aqueous electrolyte batteries and zinc ion batteries.
