Welcome To Tang's Research Lab

 Biographical Information

Dr. Yuxin Tang, Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at Fuzhou University, is a National High-Level Young Talent and key member of the "Energy and Catalysis Research Team" led by academic leader Professor Xiaojun Bao (Chief Scientist of the 973 Program and NSFC Distinguished Young Scholar). He obtained his BSc in Applied Chemistry (2006) and MSc in Materials Science (2009, supervised by Prof. Jie Tao) from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and received his PhD in Materials Science from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (2013, supervised by Prof. Zhili Dong and Prof. Zhong Chen). From May 2013, he conducted postdoctoral research in Prof. Xiaodong Chen's group. He joined the Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering (IAPME) at University of Macau as Assistant Professor in August 2018, and became Professor at Fuzhou University's College of Chemical Engineering in 2020.

Focusing on the research and development of safe fast-charging solid-state batteries, the research team has concentrated on the creation and engineering applications of polymer solid-state electrolytes and electrode materials. Over the past five years, with continuous support from national major key fund projects and industrial sectors, the team has led over 10 research projects, including the National Key Research and Development Program, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) General Projects, the Macau Science and Technology Development Fund Projects, provincial-level key projects, and corporate projects. They have achieved systematic innovative results in the engineering application and large-scale production of polymer solid-state electrolytes, as well as the large-scale production processes of electrode materials: 1) Development of synergistic catalytic polymerization technology to address the core challenge of process consistency in solid-state battery polymerization; 2) Development of low-temperature graphitization technology to achieve low-cost large-scale production of carbon-based anodes.

Based on these research achievements, the research team has published over 190 academic papers in international journals in the fields of new energy chemistry and materials chemistry, with over 16,000 citations and an H-index of 70. In the past five years, the team has published over 60 papers as corresponding authors in top-tier international journals such as Sci. Adv., Adv. Mater., Angew. Chem., and Energy Environ. Sci. The team has filed 59 Chinese invention patents and 5 PCT international patents (3 of which have been transferred), with 19 patents granted in China, the United States, and Singapore. Additionally, the team members serve as young editorial board members for journals such as Science China Materials, Carbon Neutralization, Smartmat, and Advanced Materials and Devices, as well as special issue editors for Small and Science China Materials.
