Biography
Professor Liu Wei obtained his doctoral degree from the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Solid-State Physical Chemistry, the Max Planck Institute in Germany. In 2007, he began teaching at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Ocean University of China. Obtained a professorship in 2012 and was appointed as a doctoral supervisor in 2013. He is mainly engaged in the preparation and research and development of electrochemical energy storage materials, with an interest in the design and preparation of silicon-based negative electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries and their application in solid-state batteries, as well as the design and development of water-based battery materials and their application in seawater. So far, he has undertaken 8 national/provincial-level research projects, published over 70 academic papers in high-level journals including AFM, AEM, ACS Nano, and granted more than 10 patents. Trained 4 doctoral students and over 40 master's students, among whom 8 students received national scholarships, 1 provincial-level excellent doctoral thesis, and 6 excellent master's theses. Graduates are mostly employed in large enterprises such as CATL, BYD, Weichai, etc.
