Pei san E (Sharel) is a Lecturer in Chemistry at School of Health & Life Sciences, Teesside University. Sharel graduated from the University of Science Malaysia with a B.Eng. in Materials Science and Engineering in 2011 and a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Warwick, UK, in 2017, exploring carbon nanomaterials for electroanalysis and electrocatalysis. In 2016 she began Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) postdoctoral research in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge, UK, working on novel porous materials for electrochemical gas sensing. Sharel joined Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of Warwick in 2019 as a Research Fellow working on the development of lithium ion technologies (lithium ion battery and lithium ion capacitor). Her research is at the interface of fundamental research and business, developing skills in translation and exploitation of lab-based research to commercial settings.
Her work has been published in reputable journals such as Nature, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Carbon, Journal of Physical Chemistry C, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, and Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry. She has been awarded a few poster and oral prizes in Conferences (Warwick, 2015-2016), the Gold Award in British Invention Show (BIS, London, 2011), the Romanian Best Innovation award in BIS (London, 2011), the Gold medal Award in National Research and Innovation Competition (NRIC, Malaysia, 2011), and the Sustainable Green Technology Award in NRIC (Malaysia, 2011).
Her research focuses on areas of nanoscale/microscale electrochemistry, electroanalysis, electrocatalysis, development of electrochemical sensor (biosensor and environmental sensor) and electrochemical energy storage. She pushed the boundary of scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) technique, where a nanopipette, filled with a small volume of electrolyte, was scanned across the electrode surface, for revealing the nanoscale activity of the heterogenous electrode surface. She has developed carbon nanotube and metal organic framework based electrochemical sensors for trace level detection of biological and environmental molecules such as toxic gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
In the area of energy storage, she investigated the prelithiation process on the cathode/anode of lithium ion battery in order to compensate lithium losses and to increase the energy density.
Being awarded the prestigious Talented Program organised by Hebei government (China), she aims to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations on electrochemical sensors and electrochemical energy storage with Hebei University of Technology and Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
