Huolin L. Xin is a professor in the School of Physics at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), known for his contributions to transmission electron microscopy and electrochemistry. His research focuses on developing advanced imaging techniques and exploring material behavior at the atomic scale, with applications in battery technology and energy materials. Xin has authored more than 250 peer-reviewed publications and holds several patents.

Xin completed his undergraduate studies at Peking University and earned his Ph.D. at Cornell University. He worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory as a principal investigator before joining UCI, where he leads the DeepEM Lab. His research employs cutting-edge methods in electron microscopy and data science to achieve 3D atomic-resolution imaging and in situ analysis of material properties.

Xin’s work in electrochemistry includes advancements in battery materials and energy storage systems. His lab combines atomic-resolution imaging with synthesis techniques to develop innovative solutions for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. These developments have been highlighted in studies on cobalt-free cathodes and long-life battery chemistries, contributing to sustainable energy goals.^[1][2]

His lab has also contributed to sodium-ion battery research using plasma-assisted spray granulation, an innovative technique for producing cost-effective cathode materials. This aligns with the goals of ARPA-E in advancing circular economic models for energy technologies.^[3]

Xin has received several accolades recognizing his contributions to materials science and electron microscopy:

• Burton Medal, Microscopy Society of America (2021)^[4]
• DOE Early Career Award (2020)^[5]
