Dr. Jijian Xu received his B.S. and Ph.D. degree in department of material science and engineering from Zhejiang University (ZJU) in 2014 and 2019, respectively. After three years as a postdoc with Prof. Chunsheng Wang, he was promoted as an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Maryland (UMD). He joined City University of Hong Kong and set up his research group in 2023.
Dr. Xu's research interests focus on developing advanced electrolytes and novel electrode materials for high-energy batteries. He has authored more than 60 peer-reviewed papers in Nature, Science, Nature Energy, Joule, Advanced Materials, etc. with a total citation over 3000 times and an H-index of 26 (google scholar). Dr. Xu is a guest editor of Energy Storage Materials, and youth editorial board member of eScience, Materials Futures. He has obtained over 10 Chinese and international authorized invention patents, two of which were granted to related companies for commercialization.
