ABOUT ME
Wenxiao grew up in Beijing, China. She carried out her graduate research on the synthesis and application of plasmonic metal nanocrystals under the supervision of Prof. Wei David Wei at the University of Florida. She received her Ph.D. in Chemistry in the spring of 2021. In the following summer, Wenxiao joined the Gebbie group as a postdoctoral researcher. Besides research, she enjoys hiking on easy trails and spotting wildlife.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Despite its long history, electrolysis is still receiving growing research interests in recent years due to the development of clean electricity sources and the discovery of novel catalysis materials. Ionic liquid-based electrolytes provide ideal platforms to further understand events taking place at electrode/electrolyte interfaces, which is necessary to boost the efficiency of various electrolytic processes. Motivated by this, Wenxiao is interested in studying and engineering the properties of interfaces between nanostructured metal electrodes and ionic liquids under electrolytic conditions.
