Our research interest spans from the fundamental understanding of charge propagations in mesoscopic energy conversion and storage systems, to the development of new approaches for advanced electrochemical/ photoelectrochemical energy conversion and storage. On the basis of redox-targeting reactions of energy materials, we have been advancing a new battery technology — redox flow X-batteries (X denotes different battery chemistry), for next generation large-scale energy storage. We are now expanding the redox-targeting concept to other energy-related processes, such as decoupled on-demand hydrogen production and spent battery materials recycling, etc. We welcome highly motivated students and researchers to pursue their academic career with us.
News Highlights
- Lincore is selected to join the first Breakthrough Energy Fellows – SEA cohort! Congratulations to Sai and Wang Xun!
We’re thrilled to introduce Lincore with exciting news straight from Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH), as announced by Ashley Grosh from Breakthrough Energy !
We’re excited to share that Lincore’s co-founders, Saikiran Reddy and Xun Wang, from our lab have been selected to the Breakthrough Energy Fellows – Southeast Asia cohort! It is an honor to be part of the inaugural cohort of the Singapore-based hub and join other brilliant innovators from across the globe to push the boundaries of what’s possible to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries.
At Lincore, a closed-loop, electro-metallurgical refining technology to extract critical materials such as Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt and Manganese from all spent Li-ion batteries and process them into ready-to-use battery precursors while minimising waste is being developed, enabling circular battery supply chains.

- A Hybrid Redox-Mediated Zinc-Air Fuel Cell for Scalable and Sustained Power Generation
In our latest paper in Angewandte Chemie by Yuxi et al., a hybrid redox-mediated zinc-air fuel cell (HRM-ZAFC) utilizing 7,8-dihydroxyphenazine-2-sulfonic acid (DHPS) as the anolyte redox mediator, which shifts the zinc oxidation reaction from the electrode surface to a separate fuel tank. This approach decouples fuel feeding and electricity generation, providing greater operation flexibility and scalability for large-scale power generation applications.
