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 development of safe fast-charging solid-state batteries, Dr. Tang's team has made systematic innovations in polymer solid-state electrolytes and electrode materials under national key projects and industrial support over the past five years. The team has led over 10 research programs including: 1) National Key R&D Program 2) NSFC General Program 3) Macao Science and Technology Development Fund projects (4) Provincial key projects and industry collaborations. Key technological breakthroughs include: 1) Developed "in-situ controllable polymerization technology" under mild conditions, resolving consistency challenges in large-capacity solid-state battery manufacturing;
2) Created "low-temperature catalytic graphitization technology", enabling cost-effective mass production of carbon-based anodes for fast-charging batteries while overcoming high energy consumption and slow kinetics of traditional processes.
The team has published over 180 papers in top journals (Sci. Adv., Adv. Mater., Angew. Chem., etc.) with 15,000+ citations and H-index 66. Dr. Tang holds 59 Chinese patents and 5 PCT patents (3 transferred), with 19 patents granted in China, US and Singapore. He serves as Youth Editorial Board Member for Science China Materials, Carbon Neutralization, etc., and Guest Editor for Small and Science China Materials special issues.
