Yunyong Li

About

Professor Yunyong Li is a Professor and Ph.D. Supervisor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Hainan University. Formerly affiliated with Guangdong University of Technology, he has been honored with the China Industry-University-Research Collaboration Innovation Award (Individual), the Guangdong Outstanding Youth Science Fund, and the Guangdong Provincial Young Pearl River Scholar Award. His research focuses on the structural assembly and regulation of three-dimensional dense architectures for high-capacity nano-alloy anodes and sulfur cathodes. Through innovative approaches, he has successfully developed a series of three-dimensional thick sulfur cathodes and alloy-type anodes with exceptional volumetric/areal capacities and high conductivity. His work intrinsically addresses critical challenges in high-capacity nano-thick electrodes, including severe volume expansion and sluggish ion/electron transport kinetics. With over 90 SCI-indexed publications in prestigious journals such as eScience, Advanced Materials, Energy & Environmental Science, Nano Letters, ACS Nano, and Advanced Functional Materials, his research impact is evidenced by 12 ESI Highly Cited Papers and a notable citation record exceeding 740 for his most cited work. One of his groundbreaking studies was specially featured in Nature (2013, 497(7449), 291). He holds more than 30 applied and granted invention patents, and has led over 10 major research projects including the NSFC General Program and Guangdong Provincial Key R&D Initiatives. Professor Li currently serves as a Young Editorial Board Member for several prominent journals including SusMat, Rare Metals, and Advanced Powder Materials.
