معرفی
Xiaoliang Wei is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University, with a courtesy appointment in West Lafayette. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Brown University (2009) and a B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China (2003). His research focuses on advanced energy storage technologies, particularly redox flow batteries, multivalent batteries, and 2D layered materials. Key contributions include developing stable organic redoxmers and high-performance electrolyte systems.
His career includes roles as a Scientist II & III at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (2013–2017) and postdoctoral research at Case Western Reserve University and PNNL. He has received prestigious awards such as the Ronald L. Brodzinski Early Career Exceptional Achievement Award (2016) and the Pathway to Excellence Patent Award (2017). His work emphasizes sustainable energy solutions, with over 50 publications in high-impact journals like Nature Energy and Advanced Materials.
Research interests span materials design, electrochemical characterization, and scalable energy storage systems. Recent studies explore fluorination effects on redoxmers, cooperative degradation pathways in catholytes, and techno-economic analyses of hybrid flow batteries.
