Dr. Enyuan Hu is a principal investigator (PI) at the electrochemical energy storage group of Chemistry Division. He is the leading PI of two DOE-funded projects and serves as a co-PI in several DOE-funded projects including the Battery500 Consortium. His research areas include cathode (Nature Energy 2018, 3, 690), anode (Nature Nanotechnology 2021, 16, 549; Nature Nanotechnology, Doi:10.1038/s41565-022-01273-3), and electrolyte (Nature Energy, 2022, 4, 484). He also has extensive studies on understanding the oxygen redox reaction (JACS, 2020, 142, 8918; JACS, 2019, 141, 12079; Nature communications 2020, 11, 6342; Joule, 2021, 5, 720; Joule, 2018, 3, 503; Joule, 2018, 2, 125) and the structure-property relationships (Angewandte Chemie 2021, 133, 8339; Angewandte Chemie 2020, 59, 5273; Nature Communications 2018, 9, 2324) in battery materials.
