Dr Jenny Sun

Jenny Sun is an associate research fellow in Institute for Frontier Materials, Deakin University. Her previous project was to rationally design functional materials, as well as advanced electrochemical energy devices for the rechargeable batteries, including metal-sulfur (Li/Na/Mg-S) batteries and metal-ion batteries. Her current research focuses on high energy density and large-scale rechargeable batteries (e.g., sustainable and environmentally friendly materials for Na ion batteries); understanding the reaction mechanism including solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) studies through different techniques (e.g., NMR, XPS and so on)

• Bachelor degree from Nanjing University of Science & Technology in 2015, and PhD degree from University of New South Wales in 2019.
• 4 yrs solid experience in materials chemistry, electrochemistry and materials characterisation (in-situ/ex-situ XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman, FTIR, XPS, XAS, and NMR), along with cell testing techniques
• Deep understanding of chemistry and electrochemistry behind cell fading/failure, and the ability of facilitating cell condition through electrode protection, electrolyte additive and full cell design.
