Biography

Research Project:Unravelling the factors that control the activity and stability of catalysts for alkaline water electrolysis
Supervisors: Reshma Rao (ICL), Mary Ryan (ICL)

Yifeng earned his Master of Science in Chemistry with a specialization in Molecular Physics from Imperial College London in 2023. During his master’s program, he conducted research as a part of the Durrant Group at Imperial, focusing on the investigation of the impact of electrolyte cations and the role of iron in relation to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity of nickel-based catalysts. In his current pursuit of a Ph.D., Yifeng is dedicated to a comprehensive exploration with spectroscopic and microscopic techniques of the various factors influencing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of nickel-based catalysts, as well as the examination of other materials such as iridium oxide and manganese oxides for OER in various perspectives.

Being part of the CDT-ACM was an all-round fantastic experience; I not only received great training in a range of advanced characterisation techniques, but I also made strong links with industry and strong bonds with my cohort which have both led to fruitful collaborations.
