Evaluating Flexibility and Wearability of Flexible Energy Storage Devices

Abstract

Hongfei Li obtained his Bachelor’s degree from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Central South University in 2009. After that, he received his Master’s degree from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tsinghua University in 2012. He joined Dr. Chunyi Zhi’s group as a PhD candidate in 2015 at City University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on flexible and wearable aqueous batteries and polymer electrolytes. Zijie Tang is a PhD student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, City University of Hong Kong. He received his Bachelor’s degree from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Central South University. His research mainly focuses on high-performance Zn-ion battery electrodes and polymer electrolytes for wearable energy storage devices. Zhuoxin Liu completed his Bachelor’s degree in polymer science and engineering and Master’s degree in materials science at Sichuan University, China. He joined Dr. Chunyi Zhi’s group as a PhD candidate in 2016 at City University of Hong Kong, where he has started his research on flexible and wearable energy storage devices including supercapacitors and aqueous battery systems. Chunyi Zhi is currently an associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, City University of Hong Kong. He received his PhD degree in physics from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Then he moved to the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan as a post-doctoral fellow, followed by an ICYS research fellow, researcher (faculty), and senior researcher (permanent). His research focuses on wearable and flexible energy storage devices and aqueous electrolyte batteries.
