About
Duhan Zhang is pioneering the convergence of energy storage and robotic actuation, with a focus on aqueous battery systems for soft, bio-inspired underwater robots. His most-cited work, “The multifunctional use of an aqueous battery for a high capacity jellyfish robot” (2024, 9 citations), challenges the conventional separation of power and structure in untethered underwater vehicles. By designing batteries whose liquid media serve dual roles—both storing energy and enabling hydraulic movement—Zhang demonstrates how to dramatically reduce robot size and weight while maintaining high operational capacity. This multifunctional approach opens new pathways for compact, efficient autonomous systems. His research sits at the intersection of materials science, electrochemistry, and soft robotics, offering a paradigm shift in how we think about energy in mobile platforms. Though early in his career, Zhang’s work has already attracted attention for its originality and practical implications in ocean exploration and environmental monitoring. His contributions promise to reshape the design philosophy of next-generation underwater robots, making them more agile, longer-lasting, and less resource-intensive.
