About
I am Zitao Ni. I received my Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Kyushu University, Japan, in May 2025, under the supervision of Professor Hisahiro Einaga and Associate Professor Hajime Hojo at the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences.
My research focuses on microwave-assisted heating for energy catalysis, materials for solar cells and water splitting, and heterojunction and interface design. My work has progressed from natural polymer modification during my undergraduate studies to silicon/organic thin-film hybrid solar cells during my master's studies, and microwave-assisted catalysis during my doctoral research.
Previously, I received my M.S. in New Energy Materials and Devices from Yunnan University in 2021, supervised by Professor Yu Yang and Associate Professor Tao Sun, and my B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from Anhui Agricultural University in 2018, supervised by Professor Hui Gao.
I am interested in connecting fundamental materials research with practical energy applications and welcome discussions and opportunities for collaboration.
