Libai Huang (Chinese: 黄立白[1]) is a Chinese-American chemist who is a professor at Purdue University. She is interested in unravelling the structure-property relationships of next-generation solar materials.

Early life and education

Huang earned a doctorate BS from Peking University in 2001 and a PhD from University of Rochester in 2006.[2] Her doctorate developed ultrafast nonlinear optical spectroscopy of single-wall carbon nanotubes.[3] Huang then joined Argonne National Laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow.

Research and career

Huang joined the faculty at Purdue University. In 2011, she was a Kavli Foundation Fellow.[4] Her research considers the development of ultrafast, spatially resolved spectroscopies to understand charge transport in the active layers of solar cells.[5] She has developed ultrafast spectroscopic probes that can be combined with optical microscopes to achieve nm-resolution high frequency temporal information, so-called ultrafast nanoscopy.[6][7] When it comes to imaging the active layers of solar cells, Huang has studied exciton formation and charge transport at femtosecond timescales. She tracked the hot carriers that form in perovskite solar cells, and showed that they can travel hundreds of nanometers (lasting around 100 picoseconds) before decaying as heat.[8] In singlet fission materials, Huang identified singlet-mediate triplet transport mechanisms, which can cause long-range triplet diffusion.[6][9] She makes use of optical pump-probe techniques to understand two-dimensional materials.[6]

In 2021, Huang joined a United States Department of Energy effort to develop new materials for quantum technology.[10]
