Prof. Haiyan Leng | Hydrogen Storage Materials | Best Researcher Award

Shanghai University | China

Prof. Haiyan Leng, a professor and doctoral supervisor at Shanghai University, specializes in lightweight hydrogen storage materials and high-capacity hydrogen storage device design. She has led and participated in multiple national and enterprise-funded projects, published over 70 SCI papers in top journals, and holds more than ten domestic and international patents. Her recent highly cited work in the Journal of Rare Earths investigates the influence of La and Ce rare earth doping on the hydrogen absorption properties of Zr7V5Fe alloy. The study revealed that rare earth doping enhances activation with shorter incubation periods and improves the transition of Zr and V from oxidized to metallic states during heating, leading to better hydrogen absorption performance. X-ray diffraction showed reduced cell volume of ZrV2 and α-Zr phases, raising plateau pressure, while kinetic analysis indicated coarser α-Zr phases and larger particle sizes, slightly reducing hydrogen absorption kinetics. Overall, the research provides valuable technical guidance for optimizing zirconium-based alloys for hydrogen storage applications.

Mr. Juntong Cui | Microelectronics | Best Researcher Award

Jiangnan University | China

Juntong Cui from the School of Integrated Circuits, Jiangnan University, has contributed significant research on improving the calibration of MEMS-based pressure sensors. In the paper “Design of a Rapid and Accurate Calibration System for Pressure Sensors with Minimized Temperature Variation” published in Sensors on 25 August 2025, the study addresses the challenges of nonlinearity and zero drift in mass-produced sensors. Using finite element method (FEM) simulations, the research confirms the accuracy of temperature control in the proposed calibration system while accounting for slight temperature distribution non-uniformity. A home-developed automatic calibration setup is then employed, enabling the rapid calibration of nine sensors within 80 minutes. The results demonstrate remarkable improvements, reducing linearity error from 46.5% FS to 1.5% FS and lowering the temperature coefficient from −1.35 × 10⁻⁴ V·K⁻¹ to −8.8 × 10⁻⁷ V·K⁻¹, showcasing the system’s efficiency and precision.
