EXPERIENCE
Researcher: Stanford University (Professor Hongjie Dai’s group) Rechargeable zinc-air battery based on high-performance electrocatalysts 06/2016 – 06/2017
§ Synthesize nanoscale zinc air battery catalysts that outperform commercial precious metal catalysts
§ Evaluated the activity of the catalyst using linear sweep voltammetry and rotating disk voltammetry
§ Suppressed zinc dendrite growth thorough electrolyte additives and using Zn/Cu foam as battery anode.
§ Designed and fabricated zinc-air battery coin cells and pouch cells for charge-discharge test.
§ Used micro CT and nanoscale X-ray imaging to study zinc deposition on Cu foam. Researcher:Stanford University (Professor Zhenan Bao’s group) 01/2016 – 06/2016 Synthesis and characterization of ultra-high surface area conductive carbon for use in supercapacitors
§ Synthesized N-doped 3-D hierarchically porous graphitic (HPG) carbon with an ultrahigh surface area.
§ Measured the porosity and surface area of HPG carbon using N2 adsorption/desorption techniques.
§ Evaluated the electrochemical performance of HPG carbon-based supercapacitors using cyclic voltammetry. Course project: Stanford University 01/2017 – 03/2017 Energy materials Laboratory
§ Fabricated dynamic windows for solar energy control using reversible metal electrodeposition
§ Improved the columbic efficiency of dynamic windows by using Pt nanoparticles to modify the working electrodes
§ Used SEM and chronoamperometry with in-situ UV-vis to characterized its morphology and optical property Course project: Stanford University
Electronic and Photonic Materials Laboratory 09/2016 – 12/2016
