Research Fellow

Xingchi received his bachelor’s degree in Chemistry in Zhejiang University, and later acuqired the Master’s degree in Imperial College London, studying on the Graphene/Carbon Nitride materials. In 2018, he worked in the Institute of Electrical Engineering, Chinese Academy of Science (IEECAS) on solid-state Zinc battery. He acquried his PhD degree in Nanyang Technological Univeristy (NTU) in 2024. Specifically, he explored the struture-function relationships of singlet fission (SF) materials, and the charge transfer dynamics at the SF/perovsktite heterojunctions to seek the potential of improvement in the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells.
