Abstract
Li-ion and Na-ion batteries are the critical enabling technology for the electric vehicles (EV) and renewable wind and solar energy. However, the energy density and safety of current batteries are still need to be improved to satisfy these requirements for EV and smart grid applications. In recent few years, Dr. Wang’s group at University of Maryland has systemically investigated the high capacity anodes and cathodes for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. New concept of safe Li-ion batteries using aqueous electrolyte and solid state batteries using a single material have been developed.
Dr. Chunsheng Wang is a Professor in the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Maryland. He received Ph.D in Materials Science & Engineering from Zhejiang University, China in 1995. Prior to joining University of Maryland in 2007, he was an assistant professor in Department of Chemical Engineering at Tennessee Technological University (TTU) in 2003-2007 and a research scientist in the Center for Electrochemical System and Hydrogen Research at Texas A&M University in 1998-2003. His research focuses on rechargeable batteries and fuel cells. He has published more than 140 papers in peer-reviewed journals including Science, Advanced Materials, Nature Communications, JACS and Angew. His pubications have been cited more than 6500 times with H-index of 44. His works on Li-ion batteries have been featured in NASA Tech Brief, EFRC/DoE newsletter, C&EN etc. Dr. Wang is the recipient of the A. James Clark School of Engineering Junior Faculty Outstanding Research Award in the University of Maryland in 2013.
