Victor Li

Victor Li is a Research Associate in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bath, where he also recently completed his PhD. His research focuses on electrochemical systems for water treatment and energy conversion, particularly involving ionic diodes and microporous polymers.

His research interests span electrochemistry, materials science, and membrane engineering, with a strong emphasis on desalination technologies, polymer-based membranes, and electroosmotic phenomena. His work integrates synthetic chemistry with device-level electrochemical analysis.

The recent publications show a consistent focus on ionic diodes, rectification mechanisms, and the application of intrinsically microporous polymers (PIMs) in desalination and energy conversion. Key themes include molecular structure optimization, interfacial polarization, and coupling of electrochemical processes for enhanced performance.

Victor Li has made significant contributions through collaborative research with leading scientists, including Professor Frank Marken. He has not yet advised students or received listed awards, but his work has been widely shared in social media and covered by news outlets.
