Xueyan Lin earned his Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering at Arizona State University under the supervision of Prof. Zhaoyang Fan in 2026 Spring. His doctoral research focuses on developing advanced electrode and separator materials for next-generation rechargeable batteries. During his Ph.D. studies, Lin has worked on designing and utilizing atomically dispersed catalysts to resolve sluggish redox kinetics in lithium–sulfur and zinc–air batteries. In parallel, he has developed functional separators and cost-effective, biomass-derived membranes to suppress dendrite growth and polysulfide shuttling. His work has contributed to eight peer-reviewed publications in leading journals, including ACS Nano, Chemical Engineering Journal, Carbon, Small, and Journal of Colloid and Interface Science. He has also presented his research at conferences such as ECS and ACS, and filed three U.S. provisional patent applications on separator modification and catalyst design for energy storage technologies. Lin’s research expertise covers material synthesis, materials characterization, and electrochemical testing, with the goal of providing innovative materials strategies for clean energy storage and conversion.
