Qing Wang Lab

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

  • 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.

  • Continuous electricity generation from solar heat and darkness

    In our latest paper in Joule by Zhang et al., we reported a charging-free thermally regenerative electrochemical cycles system with the aid of dual-mode thermal regulations for solar energy harvesting and radiative cooling, enabling efficient conversion of energy from two crucial sources on Earth: the sun with a temperature of around 6,000 K and outer space with a temperature of 3 K.
