Dr Lianhai Zu

Dr. Lianhai Zu is currently a research fellow of Chemical Engineering at the University of Melbourne and a R&D engineer at SupraG Energy company. He is developing a more powerful hybrid graphene-based energy storage system built on SupraG Energy’s graphene technologies.

Lianhai received his PhD in Chemistry from Tongji University (China) in 2018. He then worked as a joint research fellow at Fudan University and Monash University (2019-2021). His research interests focus on design synthesis, assembly and properties of 2D layered materials towards energy storage and conversion, including supercapacitor, lithium-ion hybrid capacitors, lithium /sodium-ion batteries and water splitting.

Training

The Centre will provide skills and training in advanced manufacturing across the energy storage supply chain – from materials through to devices and into integrated commercial products – to facilitate the next-generation of energy storage technologies.

Research

Working with the industry partners, researchers will design and manufacture new energy storage devices and components, including advanced Li ion, supercapacitors and solid state Li and Na batteries, with improved rate capability, capacity and safety.

Industry

In close collaboration with industry, the centre will build value across the sector, from developing supply chains, new devices and technologies to integrating and embedding these technologies with end-users.
