Pengfei Dai

Pengfei Dai is a PhD candidate at the School of Chemical Engineering, University of New South Wales, working under the supervision of Dr Wenxian Li. He holds a master’s degree in Applied Physics from City University of Hong Kong, where he gained research experience in functional energy materials, materials synthesis, structural characterization, and electrochemical analysis. His previous work involved thin-film solar cells and lithium-ion battery cathode materials, providing him with a background across physics, materials science, and electrochemical systems.

His doctoral research is broadly related to MOF-derived materials, porous structures, and surface/interface chemistry, with potential applications in catalysis and electrochemical energy systems.
