Introduction to the Co-supervisor/Research Group/Team

Liu Jilei is a professor, doctoral supervisor and vice dean of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Hunan University. His project team, relying on the Hunan Provincial International Joint Laboratory of Clean Energy Materials and Technology, the Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory of Advanced Carbon Materials and Application Technology, and the National Supercomputing Center in Changsha, has undertaken more than 10 projects including the National Special Talent Program, the Key Special Project of the National Key Research and Development Program of Strategic International Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (including Youth, General, and Key Projects of the Regional Innovation Development Joint Fund), the Hunan Provincial Key Research and Development Program - International and Regional Cooperation Project, the Hunan Provincial Outstanding Youth Fund, the Hunan Provincial Lake and River Talent Program - Innovation Project, and enterprise horizontal projects. The team focuses on the development of new in-situ spectroscopy-electrochemical characterization techniques and key materials and technologies for new electrochemical energy storage systems.

Specifically including:

In-situ spectroelectrochemical characterization (phase transformation and degradation mechanism of electrode materials, electrode/electrolyte matching effect, etc.)

(2) Design and optimization of new electrochemical energy storage materials and devices (sodium/potassium-ion batteries, aqueous hybrid rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, etc.)

(3) Preparation and application of carbon-based functional materials (graphene foam/film, carbon nanotubes, porous carbon, etc.)

Introduction to Hunan University

Hunan University, founded in 1903,

Hunan University is located in Changsha, a famous historical and cultural city in China. Its campus is situated on the banks of the Xiangjiang River and at the foot of Yuelu Mountain. The university's educational roots can be traced back to the establishment of Yuelu Academy in 976 AD. With a long history and a fine educational tradition, it enjoys the reputation of being a "thousand-year-old institution of learning and a century-old prestigious university". It is a key national university directly under the Ministry of Education, a key university under the "211 Project" and the "985 Project", and a university included in the "Double First-Class" initiative. The university has a Graduate School and 27 colleges, covering 11 disciplines including philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, management, medicine, and art.

Get to Know Changsha

The capital of Hunan Province, selected as one of the first batch of historical and cultural cities in China, is a beautiful mountain and water city with green mountains as its screen and clear rivers flowing through it.

Form seven trillion-yuan industrial clusters in construction machinery, food, new materials, electronic information, cultural creativity, tourism, automobiles and auto parts.

In 2020, Hunan Province's GDP ranked 9th in the country. Changsha's economic aggregate exceeded one trillion yuan. The per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents remained the highest among central cities. The average price of commercial residential properties was the lowest among provincial capital cities in central China. In 2021, the average price of new houses was 9,843 yuan per square meter.

Located at the intersection of the Beijing-Guangzhou, Shanghai-Kunming and Chongqing-Changsha-Xiamen high-speed railways in the shape of a "米" (Chinese character for "rice"), it has direct high-speed rail connections to 23 provincial capitals and municipalities. It integrates metro, maglev, urban rail, and air-rail intermodal transportation, forming a comprehensive transportation hub of national significance.
