Prof Teuns van Ree of Univen’s School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences recently returned from a two-week visit to China, where he attended a conference of the international union of pure and applied chemistry on novel materials and their synthesis.
During his visit, he also worked on a collaborative project with Chinese colleagues. Van Ree was invited to deliver a paper, Designing new electrolyte additives for better lithium-ion battery performance and overcharge protection, at the conference, held in Zhengzhou, China. He was accompanied by a master’s student, Ms Wendy Bebeda, who presented a poster entitled Conformational preferences and electrochemical performance of some substituted phenylboronates at the same conference.
They also first spent a few days at Fudan University in Shanghai, one of the top three universities in China. The host, Prof Yu-Ping Wu, and his postgraduate students, are responsible for certain analytical work for their collaborative project concerning development of new materials for lithium-ion batteries.
This was Van Ree’s tenth visit to China on invitation by Prof Wu.
