Associate Professor & Ph.D. Supervisor
Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo
Dr. Changtai Zhao is an Associate Professor and Ph.D. Supervisor at Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo. He completed his Ph.D. at Dalian University of Technology and worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Western University, Canada. Prior to joining EITECH, he served as a Professor-level Senior Engineer at the China Automotive Battery Research Institute / GRINM. He has been selected for the National Overseas High-Level Young Talent Program, Beijing HaiJu Talent Program, and Beijing Nova Program. His work bridges fundamental materials chemistry with industrial-scale battery manufacturing.
Our group focuses on fundamental breakthroughs and practical manufacturing of high-safety, ultra-high-energy-density battery technologies.
Developing high-performance solid electrolytes, advanced electrode materials, and interfacial engineering technologies for safer, higher energy density, and longer-lasting all-solid-state batteries.
Exploring novel solid-state chemistries, anion redox mechanisms, halide/sulfide architectures, and next-generation battery design paradigms to overcome energy limit boundaries.
Advancing scalable manufacturing, dry-electrode pilot processes, interfacial quality control, and pilot-scale prototyping for next-generation practical batteries.
Published research papers in top-tier journals with 9,800+ total citations.
