Research Expertise:
Thin Solid Films; Electrochromic; Electrochemical; Sensors
Dr. Dong has been a principal investigator, leading several cutting-edge research efforts in her career path. Most notably, she has been working to develop a fuel cell membrane diagnostics tool in the Million Mile Fuel Cell Truck (M2FCT) Consortia, co-led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, through the office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy. Her research interests are broad, spanning from fuel cells to sensor developments to pseudocapacitive energy storage, across condensed matter physics, chemistry, and materials science and engineering disciplines.
Her ongoing research is divided into three segments: 1) Electrochromic solid films and ultra-thin devices for smart window applications and energy savings; 2) Proton exchange membrane fuel cells for clean energy storage and conversions and diagnostics microsensor developments; 3) Electro-chemo nanomechanical effects and deformation at the interface, towards energy-focused fundamental problems. The ongoing research activities are creative and interdisciplinary due to the synergy between electrochemistry, quantitative sensor developments, and fundamental challenges related to energy developments, which are highly on-demand to date.
