University of Wollongongمعرفی
Assoc. Prof. Wei Kong Pang is an Associate Professor and Principal Fellow at the University of Wollongong, affiliated with the Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials within the Australian Institute for Innovative Materials. His research focuses on atomic-scale characterization of energy materials, structure-function relationships of battery materials, and advanced metal-ion battery technologies. He utilizes neutron and synchrotron scattering methods combined with in-situ electrochemical techniques to study material behavior in real-time.
Research Interests: Atomic/molecular-scale material analysis via neutron/X-ray scattering, battery material development (lithium, sodium, potassium-ion), energy storage systems, and scale-up technologies. His work bridges fundamental materials science with applied energy storage solutions through collaborations at large-scale facilities.
Awards:
- ANSTO Neutron and Deuteration Impact Award: Energy (2021)
- Australian Synchrotron Research Award 2020
Advisory/Grants: Current PhD supervision on porous carbon frameworks for lithium metal anodes and high-entropy cathodes for sodium-ion batteries. Research networks span local and international institutions.
Labs/Teams: Active in the Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials, leveraging advanced facilities like neutron scattering and synchrotron techniques for mechanistic studies.
