Zeyi Wang is a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Maryland, College Park, specializing in all-solid-state lithium metal batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. He earned his Ph.D. from UMD, studying from August 2019 to May 2024, and has continued as a postdoctoral fellow since then. Wang’s research focuses on designing lithium metal interfaces. He developed a three-dimensional model integrating lithium sparsity, conductivity, and porosity to suppress dendrite growth at high capacities (Nature Energy, 2024). He introduced the "Critical Interfacial Overpotential (CIOP)" parameter (Nature Energy, 2023), addressing limitations of traditional critical current density metrics, and created the first CIOP database for ten lithium compounds. Additionally, his work on halide electrolytes has enhanced stability against lithium metal (Advanced Materials, 2025). Throughout his career, Wang has authored 22 papers in high-impact journals such as Nature Energy, Advanced Materials, Angewandte Chemie, and Nature Communications, earning over 1,400 citations and an h-index of 15. He is an active member of several professional societies and has received numerous awards, including the Ann G. Wylie Dissertation Fellowship, Outstanding Graduate Assistant Award, Sengers PhD Candidacy Scholarship, and Outstanding Teaching Assistant Service. Wang’s contributions underscore his significant impact on battery technology and sustainable energy research.
