21^st World Nanotechnology Congress

Junyuan Xu has completed his PhD degree from University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) in January 2014 with a thesis entitled “High performance oxygen evolution reaction catalyst in acid for Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) water electrolysis”. During his PhD study, he has worked as a Scientifi c Visitor at Technical University of Denmark (DTU) for one year. In March 2014, he became a Post-doctorate Fellow at the Catalysis and Materials Division (CMD) of the Institute of Metal Research (IMR), Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of Professor Dangsheng Su, where his research focused on electrocatalytic mechanisms of carbon dioxide conversion using heteroatom doped nanocarbon electro-catalysts. He has joined Dr. Lifeng Liu’s group at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) and is currently working as a Research Fellow on a Horizon 2020 project (CritCat) focusing on developing non-precious earth-abundant electro-catalysts for hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions.
