Song Jin

Song Jin is the Francis J. DiSalvo Professor of Physical Science in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He leads the Jin Group, focusing on nanomaterials, electrocatalysis, perovskite optoelectronics, and energy storage solutions. His research bridges renewable energy, quantum materials, and biomedical nanotechnology.

Education:

• B.S. (1997) from Peking University
• Ph.D. (2002) from Cornell University

Research Interests: Jin pioneers screw-dislocation-driven nanomaterial growth, designs earth-abundant electrocatalysts for hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen production, develops perovskite heterostructures for optoelectronics, and engineers solar flow batteries for integrated energy conversion/storage. His proteomics work uses nanotechnology to advance cardiac biomarker analysis.

Publication Trends: Recent articles (2023–2025) emphasize perovskite engineering (bandgap tuning, ferroelectricity), electrocatalytic H₂O₂ synthesis, twistronics in quantum materials, and environmental applications like wastewater valorization. Cross-disciplinary themes include sustainability, quantum phenomena, and nanotechnology-driven biomedicine.

Laboratory: The Jin Group explores fundamental material properties to address energy intermittency and biomedical challenges through nanoscale innovation.
