Dr Xia Huang

Dr Xia Huang specialises in materials for electrochemcial energy storage
Xia Huang's research focuses on functional materials for electrochemical energy storage with specific interest in next generation rechargeable batteries, including lithium-ion, lithium-sulfur and solid-state batteries.
She is currently an Advanced Queensland Research Fellow at AIBN. From 2016-2019, she undertook her PhD study in the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Queensland. Her PhD project aimed at developing novel two-dimentional nanomaterials for the development of high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries. She joined AIBN as a postdoctoral researcher in 2020. Her research focuses on materials for lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries and solid-state batteries. In late 2021, she won the Advacned Queensland Industry Research Fellowship to develop rubost cathode materials for next generation lithium-ion batteries.
Industry
She has extensive experience working with a wide range of industry partners, including both international and national companies and has worked with industry partners through a broad range of projects, including one ARC Linkage Project, one CRC-P, one Advanced Queensland Fellowship funded project and one UQ K&T award funded project.
