Zhifan Ke's research focuses on developing materials for energy conversion and storage, including electrocatalysts for water splitting and batteries, and earlier work on organic solar cell materials. Recent work centers on engineering electrode materials (metal hydroxides, phosphates, and doped carbon structures) to improve charge transfer and efficiency in electrocatalytic hydrogen production and zinc-air batteries. This research could suit students interested in materials chemistry for renewable energy technologies, particularly electrocatalysis and battery/electrode design.
Publication output has grown notably in recent years, rising from a handful of papers per year in 2017-2022 to a peak of 11 in 2023, followed by continued activity in 2024.
