Biography:

Shiwas born in Shaoyang, Hunan, China. He has obtained the doctorate inMembrane Science and Functional Materials Group, Sichuan University,under the guidance of Professor Liang-yin Chu. In the post-graduatestage, his research fields of interest mainly involved hydrogels,microfluidic technology, membrane materials, etc. And, some originalachievements have been achieved in material synthesis methodology,mechanical regulation research, and design of new intelligentmaterials.

Afterentering the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at HefeiUniversity of Technology, Shi’ research focuses on the energyconversion storage materials and devices such as solid-statelithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and electrocatalysts. Amongthem, he has developed a series of high-performance solid-stateelectrolyte membranes through the strategies such as trace solventplasticization, design of polymer-in-salt structure,mechanicalenhancement and heterostructure design to address the key issuesincluding weak room-temperature ionic conductivity, poor interfacialstability, and the difficulty in balancing high voltage resistanceand compatibility toward lithium metal for solid-state polymerelectrolytes. Currently, more than 10 scientific papers have beenpublished and three Chinese invention patents have been authorized.He has led and completed one project of Young Scientists Fund of theNational Natural Science Foundation of China, and is leading anotherone project of National Natural Science Foundation of Anhui Province.In addition, Shi now independently supervises a total of 4 master'sstudents, with 1 to 2 enrollment targets per year in the fields ofchemical engineering and technology.
