Mengyang Dong

I am an electrochemist and materials scientist focused on designing advanced catalysts and electrolyte systems for sustainable energy storage and conversion. My research integrates operando spectroscopy, electrochemical engineering, and data-driven analysis to understand and control reactions at the solid–liquid interface.

My work aims to improve the efficiency, stability, and manufacturability of redox flow batteries and related electrochemical technologies that enable large-scale integration of renewable energy. By combining fundamental mechanistic studies with practical system development, I seek to bridge the gap between laboratory discovery and industrial deployment.
