Green and sustainable supply of fuels and chemicals plays a crucial role in achieving net zero for 2050. Dr. Huanyu Jin's research focuses on developing clean energy technologies for environmental sustainability by converting renewable electricity into value-added fuel and chemicals through electrocatalysis. This will contribute to renewable energy use, commodity-chemicals manufacturing, and carbon-footprint reduction, ultimately making the world carbon neutral and sustainable. Outcomes will address frontier research challenges of electrocatalysts and help to develop efficient renewable energy technologies.

Dr Huanyu Jin received his PhD from The University of Adelaide (UoA, Australia) in 2020. He is currently a research fellow at UoA, and his research focuses on the development of clean energy technologies for environmental sustainability. Huanyu has received multiple awards, such as UoA Future Making Fellowship, Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Medal (1 per year), UoA Doctoral Research Medal, Best Contribution to Research Quality in Energy Materials (ECR), etc. As the Chief investigator and co-investigator, Huanyu has obtained internal and external funding of over 1 million AUD. He has served as the editorial board member and guest/review editor of international peer-review journals. He was listed on Stanford University World's Top 2% Scientists Most-Cited List.
