Dr. Yi Chen is a lecturer at the North University of China with a PhD from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, CAS, and postdoctoral experience in Instrument Science and Technology. His research focuses on advanced energy storage materials and devices, highlighted by the development of a novel 12V supercapacitor. He has led multiple competitive research projects in micro-supercapacitors, energy-storage performance enhancement, and weak-signal photo-detection devices. His innovations include patented methods for slippery surfaces infused with ionic liquids, triboelectric nanogenerator fabrication, flexible wide-window supercapacitors, and MXene/NiCo₂O₄ composite electrode materials. He has published over ten academic papers in SCI and Scopus-indexed journals covering high-voltage planar supercapacitors, MOF/ionic-liquid synergy, NiCo₂O₄/MXene heterostructures, multi-metal MOF nanorod modulation for flexible devices, triboelectrification mechanisms, ionic-liquid-infused slippery surfaces, and heterojunction-based electrodes. His experimental expertise spans micro supercapacitor design, MOF and MXene composites, triboelectric interfaces, ionic-liquid systems, and energy-storage performance evaluation.
