Title: Improving electrochemical performance of Si-based electrode via gradient Si concentration

Biography: Mr. Zhenbin Guo is a year-three Ph.D. candidate from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He is focused on the studies on bioinspired mechanics and materials and has published 7 papers in this field during his Ph.D. study. Recently, his research interest has been extended to the mechanical behavior of anode materials for LIBs. The idea of using gradient strategies to improve the performance of LIBs is inspired by previous studies in both areas. A cost-effective, user-friendly and reliable method on the fabrication of advanced electrode materials, which can further benefit on the downstream applications, is expected.
