Speaker Information

Dr. Hui (Claire) Xiong is a Professor in the Micron School of Materials Science and Engineering at Boise State University. Dr. Xiong received her BE degree in Applied Chemistry, MS degree in Solid State Chemistry from East China University of Science and Technology. She received her Ph.D. in Electroanalytical Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh in 2007. Between 2008 and 2012, she conducted postdoctoral work at Harvard University and Argonne National Laboratory where her research involved electrochemical characterization of micro-fabricated cathode materials for micro-solid oxide fuel cells and the development of novel nanostructured electrode materials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. She joined Boise State University in 2012. Dr. Xiong received NSF CAREER Award in 2015, is the Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Fellow of the American Ceramic Society, a Scialog Fellow, and the Fellow of the Center for Advanced Energy Studies. Dr Xiong’s research focuses on design and development of nanoarchitectured and defect-driven electrode materials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries and beyond, ion irradiation effects on electroceramics, mechanistic insights on electrolyte degradation, and in situ and operando characterizations of energy materials.
