Professor Hongxia Wang is an outstanding thought leader in emerging solar cell technologies. She has dedicated her career to transforming laboratory breakthroughs into sustainable, commercial successes. 

Wang developed carbon electrode technology for cost-effective manufacturing of efficient and durable perovskite solar cells. This patented innovation now underpins commercialisation efforts by Australian start-up Halocell, enhancing sovereign manufacturing capabilities. 

Wang has also developed a novel solar cell material commercialised in Australia, as well as environmentally friendly fabrication processes for solar cells. Her work bridges academic innovation with industry application, contributing to global efforts in renewable energy and positioning Australia as a leader in low-emission solutions.

She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and holds multiple leadership roles, helping to build national research capacity and mentoring early-career researchers.

Professor Hongxia Wang is a globally learned scholar and thought leader in advanced materials and manufacturing processes for emerging solar cell technologies, and the practical application of technological innovations. She has dedicated her career to transforming material and technological advancements into commercial successes. Her patented carbon electrode technology for efficient and stable perovskite solar cells has underpinned the sovereign manufacturing of perovskite solar cells by an Australian start-up. Furthermore, her discovery of a novel iodide ion-conducting material tailored for dye-sensitized solar cells resulted in the creation of a commercial product marketed by a company in Australia. As a pioneer in the field, Professor Wang has also developed sustainable, environmentally friendly fabrication processes for solar cells. Her work bridges academic innovation with industry application, contributing to global efforts in clean energy solutions.
