Yanan Li
Yanan completed her BS in Chemistry at Nanjing Normal University in 2015, before earning her MS in Inorganic Chemistry at Beijing Normal University in 2018. There she worked with Xiaojing Yang on 2D nanocomposites and the controllable assembly of inorganic nanosheets. Yanan's current research is focused on developing Pb-free perovskites and the crystallization behavior of perovskites for solar cell applications.
In her spare time, Yanan enjoys traveling and cooking.
