Prof. Qing Li is currently a full professor of School of Materials Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), China. He was awarded “1000 Talents Program for Young Scholars” in 2016 and then joined HUST. His research interests include functional nanomaterials and their applications in PEM fuel cells, batteries, electrocatalysis, and electroanalytical chemistry. His main research experience and expertise lie in: (1) Non-precious metal catalysts for oxygen reduction in PEM fuel cells; (2) Synthesis of metal nanoparticles and composites with controlled size and structure; (3) MEA preparation, fuel cell assembling, testing and troubleshooting; (4) Catalyst development and system optimization for direct methanol/dimethyl ether fuel cells; (5) Electrochemistry at liquid/liquid interface and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). He has authored more than 60 scientific publications in prestigious journals including Adv. Mater., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Nano Lett., Nat. Commun., etc. Many of them are selected as “ESI highly cited paper”, “ACS Editor’s Choice”, etc. and reported by numerous media. He is also the author of 3 book chapters and holds 1 issued U.S. patent.
