Xingjian Xue

Dr. Xingjian Xue is an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina's Molinaroli College of Engineering and Computing. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Connecticut with complementary training in mechatronics and materials science.

His research advances electrochemical energy technologies, focusing on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), gas separation membranes, and materials for energy conversion. Recent innovations include nanostructured cathodes, functionally graded membranes for oxygen separation, and thin-film SOFCs. His work integrates computational modeling with experimental validation to enhance performance and durability.

Recent publications demonstrate progress in scaling membrane technologies for industrial oxygen separation and developing methane-fueled SOFC systems. Research consistently addresses fundamental transport phenomena and kinetic processes in electrochemical systems.

Laboratory Leadership: Directs the High Temperature Electrochemical Materials and Energy Lab, focusing on materials synthesis, electrochemical characterization, and system prototyping.
