معرفی
Yunxiao Wang is a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials (ISEM) within the Australian Institute for Innovative Materials (AIIM) at the University of Wollongong since 2022. His research focuses on advanced energy storage systems, particularly sodium-sulfur batteries and atomic materials for electrochemical applications. He leads a research group established in 2017, emphasizing material engineering for battery systems and nanoscale characterization.
His work includes developing room-temperature sodium-sulfur batteries with safety-enhanced designs, leveraging nanostructural engineering and electrolyte optimization. He also explores single-atom catalysts and monoatomic clusters for enhanced catalytic efficiency in batteries and electrochemical reactions.
Wang has secured funding through the ARC DECRA Fellowship to advance sodium-metal-free batteries and has contributed to over 388 research outputs. He currently supervises three PhD students investigating sodium-based battery systems and electrolyte development. His research has implications for sustainable energy storage and aligns with global clean energy goals.
Key areas of expertise include electrochemical energy storage, functional materials, and nanoscale characterization. His lab at ISEM collaborates on projects addressing battery safety, scalability, and performance under extreme conditions.
