Education |
Jia Yu graduated from University of Science and Technology of China in 2010, with a B. S. degree in material chemistry. And then he graduated from the Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2018, with a Ph. D. degree in chemical engineering. After graduation, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University. He is now an associate professor of Shanghai University. |
Research Interests |
With high specific energy, high safety and low cost electrochemical energy storage technologies as the targets, Jia Yu focus on the structure design, interface optimization, and process development of key secondary battery materials, involving lithium ion batteries, zinc–air batteries, etc. Concretely, his research contents include 1) rational design of lithium storage electrodes and construction of multiscale ordered architectures, 2) Reaction enhancement and structure regulation for electrode interfaces, 3) design and large-scale preparation of low-cost electrode materials.
At present, he has published more than 20 academic papers on journals such as Advanced Materials, Energy & Environmental Science, ACS Nano, etc. Meanwhile, he is the principle investigator of a research project supported by the Youth Science Program of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), also participates in several projects supported by the National Key Research and Development Project of China, the Major Research Plan of NSFC, etc. |
