Dr. Qing Dai received his PhD in the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, where he focused on the ion transport mechanism and structure design of ion conductive membranes for flow batteries. He further conducted research on the electrochemistry of 2D materials at the National Institute of Graphene in the University of Manchester. In May 2023, Dr. Dai joined the IfM as a research associate in Prof. Michael De Volder's group, where he is currently working on the design and manufacture of membranes and electrodes for redox flow batteries.
