Personal Information

Weijie Li, Ph.D., Professor, Doctoral supervisor, graduated from the University of Wollongong, Australia with a Ph.D. in 2016, and then worked as a postdoctoral fellow and DECRA research fellow at the University of Wollongong. The main research interests focus on sodium-ion batteries and zinc-ion batteries, involving the study of Prussian blue cathode materials, phosphorus anode materials, the design of aqueous electrolytes and solid-state battery interface. She has published more than 40 SCI papers in Adv. Mater., ACS Nano, Nano Lett., Angew., Chem. Int. Ed., Adv. Funct. Mater., Adv. Energy Mater., Sci. Adv. and other international journals as the first author or corresponding author. As a co-author, I have published more than 50 papers in Nature Comm. and Energy Environ. Sci. and other international famous journals, with 7600 Google citations, an H-factor of 41, and 7 papers being highly cited in ESI in the past ten years. Dr. Li got the Australian DECRA Award and Japan JSPS fellowship. 

2. Dr. Li leads 7 scientific research projects which funded by National Natural Science Foundation, Australian Research Council and the Australian Synchrotron Radiation Center, with a total amount of more than 1 million Australian dollars, and participated in a large sodium-ion batteries commercialization research project (AUD 5 million), as the leader of the development of commercially promising sodium-ion cathode materials.
