Hierarchical Graphene-Based Materials for High-Performance Supercapacitors (Supercapacitors Europe 2013)

Xinliang Feng is a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPIP), starting from September 2007. Since June 2010, he has been a professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and was appointed as director for the Institute of Advanced Organic Materials. His current scientific interests include graphene, two-dimensional nanomaterials, organic conjugated materials, carbon-rich molecules and materials for electronic and energy-related applications. He has published four book chapters and over 140 research articles in high-level, international, peer-reviewed journals.

The Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) ranks among the top research centers in the field of polymer science world-wide. The institute was founded in 1983 on the campus of the Johannes Gutenberg University and commenced work in June 1984.

 

The focus on so-called soft materials and macro-molecular materials has resulted in the worldwide unique position of the MPI-P and its research focus. The MPI-P offers ideal conditions for conducting outstanding research. The institute combines all the necessary specialized expertise - from the creative design of new materials, from their synthesis in the lab to their physical characterization as well as the theoretical understanding of polymer characteristics.
