Guided by the initiative of “Reaching carbon peak in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060” proposed by President Xi Jinping in a key period of global energy transformations, Energy Storage Sci-Tech Innovation Team is targeted at addressing major scientific issues in energy storage, major research tasks and large-scale sci-tech infrastructure, as well as making a highland of innovation with a full chain of original basic research, applied research and industrial development. The Team, driven by the “main engine” of ZJU-Hangzhou Global Scientific and Technological Innovation Center (HIC) and the interdisciplinary studies of energy storage science and engineering, aims to be a magnet of first-class energy storage research teams with global leadership, Zhejiang University characteristics and the spirit of science and innovation. Led by Researcher LU Yingying, a leading figure of National Ten Thousand Talent Plan for Young and Middle-aged Leading Talents, recipient of National Outstanding Youth Fund and Prof. JIANG Yinzhu, recipient of National Outstanding Youth Fund, the Team hopes to bring together a galaxy of interdisciplinary talents in the research on low-cost, high-specific energy, high-safety, long-life electrochemical advanced energy storage technology, mainly on new energy storage battery system, energy storage material design and mechanism research and whole life battery cycle, etc.

The team has so far published over 150 papers in SCI journals, e.g. Nature Materials, Nature Communications, Science Advances, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed, PNAS, Advanced Materials, ACS Nano, Physical Review Letters, among which 8 were ESI highly cited papers. Moreover, the team has obtained more than 30 invention patents, in charge of or undertaken National Key R&D Program, Excellent Youth Fund and general programs of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), several International Cooperation and Exchange Funds. Some of the team members have been selected as Leading Talents of Ten Thousand Talents Program and Global High-Level Talent Introduction Program of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the CPC. In addition, the team has undertaken several cooperative projects with State Grid Global Energy Internet Research Institute and Zhejiang Huayun Information Technology Co.
