Lei Lei is a PhD student in the Energy Process Engineering group led by Professor Bradley Ladewig, University of Luxembourg, focusing on the design and characterization of transition metal-combined layered double hydroxides (LDHs) for sustainable energy material applications.

Lei Lei’s research focuses on LDHs as functional materials for water electrolysis. She explores how different transition metal combinations influence the structure of LDHs, and how these structural changes relate to the performance of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). She uses hydrothermal synthesis and standard material characterization techniques (including XRD, FT-IR, TGA, and N₂ physisorption) to study these relationships.
Drawing on her background in chemical engineering, she has previously worked on natural functional materials for sustainable packaging and bioactive substance extraction. At the Paul Wurst Chair, her work contributes to the development of affordable, sustainable materials for green hydrogen production.

Lei Lei holds a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering and a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, providing her with a solid foundation in material science and environmental engineering.
