Biographical details
Dr Han is currently a ARC Future Fellow (Level 2) and Senior Lecturer at School of Chemical Engineering. His research focuses on developing functional nanomaterials for energy storage and conversion, nanomaterials, plasma nanofabrication, electrochemistry, and advanced catalysts for hydrogen and CO2 reduction. Dr. Han is an expert in vertical graphene, a special form of graphene that grows perpendicularly to the substrate. Vertical graphene can prevent the “re-stacking” issue of graphene layers, thereby enabling fast ion transport and large surface accessibility in energy storage devices. He has implemented vertical graphene for batteries and supercapacitors to offer highly-effective and reliable energy storage, as well as advanced electrocatalysts for low-cost and high-efficiency water splitting and CO2 reduction.
