Professor Wang from University of Wollongong visited SCUT and made academic exchanges for two days with the invitation by the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. On the morning of Apr. 19th, Prof. Wang made an excellent academic report of “Development of New Materials for Next Generation Rechargeable Batteries”. The report was interesting and some professors (Lei Zhang, Liangxin Ding, Suqing Wang et al.) and many students from School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering attended the lecture. Professor Wang reported the development of new electrode for high performance lithium ion batteries made in her group for the past decade, including germanium-carbon composites, Li4Ti5O12, and Li3VO4-based carbon composites and LiFePO4/C/graphene composite cathode. After that, she also introduced the research achievements on the design of novel nanomaterials for the next generation batteries, such as Sulfur-carbon composites and sulfur-conducting polymer composites for Li-S batteries, and cobalt-based and palladium-based cathode materials for lithium-oxygen battery. After the report, Prof. Wang had further communication with the teachers and students and visited Prof. Zhang’s and Deng’s laboratories.
