Dr. Yijun Yang received the PhD degree in 2015 from Peaking University and Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICCAS), and then moved to Beijing Jiaotong University in 2016. He is currently an associate professor in department of physics. His research interest mainly focused on rational design and fabrication of functional transition metal compounds, which could be utilized in energy storage and catalysis. Dr. Yang seek to understand the chemical and physical properties of these nanomaterials and to explore their structure-performance relationship. He has published more than 40 SCI papers in Joule, Energy Environ. Sci., Adv. Mater., Nano Energy and such on as first author or corresponding author.
