Libai Huang (Chinese: 黄立白[1]) is a Chinese-American chemist who is a professor at Purdue University.
[4] Her research considers the development of ultrafast, spatially resolved spectroscopies to understand charge transport in the active layers of solar cells.
[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.
[6] In 2021, Huang joined a United States Department of Energy effort to develop new materials for quantum technology.
