Materials: solar-driven photoelectrochemical energy conversion in Zinc rechargeable flow battery
Yongxin’s career in renewable energy began 3 years ago at The University of Queensland as a master's student in Master of Sustainable Energy, from which she systematically learned every new energy technology and the status quo of the energy market, as well as about energy policies.
She is currently continuing her PhD research in the Luo group at the AIBN. The main research direction is solar-assisted rechargeable flow batteries, aiming to solve the problems caused by the intermittent of solar energy and reduce costs through this device using new clean materials, bringing new opportunities for the future solar market, and energy storage market.
Industry
She did a three-month internship in a Brisbane-based company, ESIAP, which focus on providing more energy strategies for Australia, especially Queensland.
