SKILLS Proficient:AspenHYSYS,MATLAB, RotatingDiskElectrode, LinearSweepVoltammetry, MicrosoftOffice Intermediate:CyclicVoltammetry, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy,WolframMathematica WorkingKnowledge:LabVIEW, Spectrophotometry,C++,Adobe Illustrator FluentinChinese RESEARCH EXPERIENCE StudentResearchAssistant,Electrocatalystsfor hydrogenevolutionreaction July 2014-December2015 Departmentof Chemical andBiological Engineering, IllinoisInstituteof Technology,Chicago,IL SynthesizedandtestedNi(OH)2 modifiedmetal catalysts(Pt) inRotatingDiskElectrode (RDE).Foundthe optimal Ni(OH)2 loadingtobe 20% . AnalysedSEM/TEMimagesof catalystsample tostudydistributionof Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles. In solid-state alkaline water electrolyzers, tested the performance of precious metal catalysts (Pt, Pt/Ni(OH)2, Pt/Ru, Ni and Ni/Ni(OH)2) for hydrogen revolution reaction. Confirmed the role of Ni(OH)2 clustersinimprovingmetal catalysts activity(10% decrease involtage consumptionforPt). Proved the performance of synthesized Pt/Ni(OH)2 was comparable to expensive state-of-art catalyst Pt/Ru. Won 3rd place of IIT Armour R&D Undergraduate Research Expo, with the poster Hydrogen Evolution ReactionCatalystsforSolid-StateAlkaline WaterElectrolysis.
