Kunyi Leng is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Tokyo. Their research focuses on the development of functional nanomaterials for advanced energy storage and catalytic applications. Key areas include the design of nanonetwork-structured carbon nitride with Au nanoparticle yolks for photocatalytic applications, functional nanonetwork-structured polymers with poly (acrylic acid) linings for enhanced adsorption, and the fabrication of silicon oxycarbide-enwrapped silicon nanoparticles for high-performance lithium storage. Leng also explores strategies for improving lithium-sulfur batteries through cobalt-decorated carbon nanotube bottlebrushes and the creation of 2D hybrid porous carbons from functional molecular brushes. Their work emphasizes the synthesis of multifunctional materials with tailored properties for sustainable energy technologies.
