Release of Microplastic Fibres From Washing Textiles

Microplastics in our clothing is responsible for 35% of microplastics in aquatic systems. The goal of the project is to find coatings or material changes would minimize the release of microplastics while washing.

Photothermal ice nucleation inhibiting coating for improved clean energy equity

Yizhi’s research is on photothermal ice nucleation inhibiting coatings for improved clean energy equity.

Smart de-icing coatings enabling efficient, year-round wind turbine energy production

A smart, next-generation de-icing technology that combines ice sensors, heaters, and a novel de-icing coating that can keep turbine blades ice-free using less than 1% of the power that current solutions use.
