Dr Hiroyuki Ueda

Dr Ueda’s research opens up a viable future of advanced secondary batteries by the successful utilization of state-of-the-art electromaterials. In 2016, he received his PhD degree from Kumamoto University (Japan). After graduation, he worked in chemical companies as a battery development engineer. He went back to academia and joined IFM, Deakin University in February 2020. Now he is exploring novel electrolytes and their incorporation methods in batteries.

As of May 2020, Dr Ueda had authored 9 publications, including 7 first-author papers in international chemistry journals. His previous research contributed to give new insights towards electrochemistry in ionic liquids, specifically:

• Manipulation for multiple redox reactions of fullerene thin films on gold using ionic liquids [ Commun., 2020, 110, 106619; Langmuir, 2017, 33(47), 13468; Electrochim. Acta, 2016, 210, 155; and Electrochem. Commun., 2014, 43, 102]
• Resolution and understanding of the electrical double layer structure at the interface between an iodide-based ionic liquid and gold single crystal electrode [Electrochemistry, 2018, 86(5), 217]
• Interpretation of diffusion for a redox-active solute in ionic liquids [ Chem. Chem. Phys., 2016, 18(5), 3558]
