Biography:

XianghuaKong is currently an associate professor at the School of Chemistryand Chemical Engineering, Hefei University of Technology. From 2003to 2008, she studied under the supervision of Professor Chen Wang atthe Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, focused onmodification, characterization and manipulation of surface interfacestructures with Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM). After got her Ph.D.in 2008, she worked successively as a postdoctoral researcher at theLeibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research in Germanyand at the University of Texas at Austin in the United States, whereshe worked under the supervision of Professor Ruoff, a leadingscientist in the field of carbon materials and graphene. Since joinedthe Hefei University of Technology in 2013, she has been engaged inpreparation of carbon-based nanostructures and application of newmaterials in energy storage, as well as electrocatalysisat interface.In2019, Kong's team and the coauthors successfully prepared highperformance lithium-sulfurbatteries with high-sulfur content by using cobalt in nitrogen-dopedgraphene as single-atom catalyst. This work was published inJ.Am. Chem. Soc. (2019,141, 3977-3985) and has been hotly cited.

ResearchInterests:

Kongresearch group focuses on rational synthesis and assembly oflow-dimensional carbon-based materials with unique structures andtunable properties, and the fundamental understanding of thestructure-property-function relationship of the new materials appliedin batteries, as well as the properties of electrolyte and theprinciples of electrocatalysis at interface.
