About

Rongrong Xue is a rising innovator at the intersection of energy storage and biomedical micro-robotics. Her research primarily spans two distinct frontiers: advancing rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries (RAZBs) and designing novel gastrointestinal microrobots (GMRs). In her most cited work (44 citations), Xue tackles critical bottlenecks in RAZBs—cathode degradation, parasitic side reactions, and self-discharge—by introducing an ultrathin (9 µm) molecular-engineered separator. This multiscale interfacial regulation strategy significantly enhances pouch cell stability, offering a practical pathway toward safer, high-performance batteries. Her earlier foundational contribution (20 citations) addresses a challenge in medical robotics: reliable anchoring within the gastrointestinal tract. Xue designed an overlapping expanding arm mechanism for a GMR, optimizing the variable diameter ratio to ensure robust expansion and fixation. This work demonstrates her ability to solve complex mechanical problems in constrained environments. By bridging electrochemistry and biomedical engineering, Xue exemplifies interdisciplinary innovation, with her work already influencing both sustainable energy solutions and minimally invasive medical devices.
