Author Bio:

Shurong Wang received her B.S. degree in Chemistry (2017) and M.E. degree (2020) at Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor Feng Hao at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Her current work focuses on lead-free perovskite solar cells.

Aili Wang received her M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering (2018) in South China Normal University. She is currently a Ph.D. student in Professor Feng Hao’s group at School of Materials and Energy, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Her current research focuses on all-inorganic and lead-free perovskite solar cells.

Feng Hao received his Ph.D. degree from Tsinghua University in 2012. Then he moved to Northwestern University as a postdoc for four years in the Department of Chemistry. He is now a full professor at the School of Materials and Energy, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. His research focuses on perovskite solar cells and photonic materials.

Liming Ding got his PhD from University of Science and Technology of China (was a joint student at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, CAS). He started his research on OSCs and PLEDs in Olle Inganäs Lab in 1998. Later on, he worked at National Center for Polymer Research, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Argonne National Lab (USA). He joined Konarka as a Senior Scientist in 2008. In 2010, he joined National Center for Nanoscience and Technology as a full professor. His research focuses on functional materials and devices. He is RSC Fellow, the nominator for Xplorer Prize, and the Associate Editors for Science Bulletin and Journal of Semiconductors.
