It’s interesting that The Lin Lab has three different ECS battery division award winners from three different stages of career. Left to right: early career award winner 2022 @fenglinvt, postdoctoral award winner 2019 Linqin Mu_穆林沁, student award winner 2021 Muhammad Mominur Rahman

The Lin Lab is looking for postdocs to work on the synthesis and characterization of electrode and electrolyte materials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. For more about the group, please refer to our website (thelinlabatvt.weebly.com) or reach out to Prof. Feng Lin (@fenglinvt).

Our recent publication is featured in Editors’ Highlights in Nature Communications, as one of the best papers recently published in the energy field. nature.com/collections/dm… Stay tuned, we have more exciting research works to share! The Lin Lab @fenglinvt

Congratulations Dr. Zhijie Yang, who defended his PhD on Ni-Rich and low/no-Co layered cathodes yesterday! Great work! Zhijie Yang Virginia Tech Chemistry

Congratulations Dr. Anyang Hu, the second Lin Lab PhD graduate this week! Anyang has done incredible work probing electrode-electrolyte interfaces with metal dissolution and redeposition chemistry. Anyang Hu Virginia Tech Chemistry

Last week we celebrated all that Zhengrui Xu has done in our lab, first as a PhD student (VT ‘21), then as a postdoc. While we are sad to see him go, we are excited to continue collaborating with him as he moves onto his next adventure as the co-founder and CTO of Fermi Energy!

Congratulations to our newest doctoral candidate, Anika Tabassum Promi, for passing her candidacy exam today! Anika’s research is on process parameter control for synthesis of sodium ion cathodes.

We are happy to share that another member of our lab has graduated. Last week Yuxin Zhang presented his PhD thesis titled "Investigation of Cathode Failure Mechanisms to Enhance the Performance of Rechargeable Aqueous Batteries." Congratulations Dr. Zhang!

Feng Lin joined Virginia Tech’s “Curious Conversations” to discuss the chemistry behind creating better batteries for electric vehicles. news.vt.edu/content/news_v…

In this recent publication on Matter_CP by The Lin Lab, we dive into the thermo-chemical interactions in Ni-rich layered cathodes and report interesting discoveries on thermal degradation for this "battery matter". authors.elsevier.com/c/1iKLa9Cyxd31…
