2025年12月23日，应武汉理工大学电能源化学与先进储能材料团队刘金平教授邀请，香港城市大学材料科学与工程系讲席教授、澳大利亚两院院士郭再萍教授莅临我校，在亚洲体育博彩平台 S217会议室为师生带来了一场题为“Interface chemistry and electrolyte design for high-performance rechargeable batteries”的学术报告。
可充电电池的性能在很大程度上取决于其电化学界面，这一位于电极与电解质之间的微观边界，主导着电荷载流子离子的传输行为。然而，其复杂的本质与纳米尺度的特性使得相关研究与性能提升面临巨大挑战。郭再萍教授在报告中指出，通过精巧的界面化学调控与创新的电解质设计，是突破此瓶颈的关键路径。郭教授深入介绍了其团队在该前沿领域的开拓性工作，包括高比能锂金属电池负极界面改性及大软包锂金属电池设计、水系锌离子电池等。比如，针对水系锌离子电池中枝晶生长与副反应等难题，她们通过稳定锌负极/电解质界面的固态电解质界面膜，成功抑制了枝晶形成。更令人瞩目的是，团队开发的宽温域水系电解质，使水系锌离子电池在-45°C至60°C的极端温度范围内实现了卓越的循环稳定性与运行安全性，为开发适应复杂环境的高性能、高安全电池提供了颠覆性思路。
整场报告聚焦国际学术前沿，内容深邃而系统，从基础科学原理到实际应用挑战，层层递进，为在场师生揭示了通过界面工程提升电池性能的巨大潜力与广阔前景。在交流环节，郭教授与师生们就界面表征技术、电解质分子设计、电池失效机理等议题进行了热烈而深入的探讨。
