Research briefing:
My PhD research project is “Study on the composition/performance optimization and mechanisms of titanium- and rare earth-based materials for high-capacity hydrogen storage under medium-low pressure”. Currently, I am working on those projects: (1) High-performance solid-state hydrogen storage materials; (2) Hydrogen evolution pathway regulation; (3) Hydrogen isotope storage and anti-disproportionation/poisoning modifications and (4) Computational materials science. For example, implicit/explicit features-based machine learning on the key microstructures/hydrogen storage properties of C14-Laves type HSAs for the first time, based on which the developed fast-response low pressure high-density solid state hydrogen storage device was successfully applied to Guangzhou Nansha electric hydrogen smart energy station, helping China to realize the first time to connect solid state hydrogen power generation to the grid.
