Prof Derrick Jiang (Associate Professor) has published a paper in the top journal – Nature Communications, on 21 September 2026. The paper, titled “Inductive charging systems empowered by stress-annealed nanocrystalline alloys with high induced magnetic anisotropy”, is a collaborative work with his research team and the scholars from Dongguan Institute of Materials Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, University of Cambridge , University of Auckland, University of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
The team designed a ground-breaking inductive charging system utilizing Fe-based nanocrystalline alloys, developed through combined material and system-level optimization. This material–system co-design results in an inductive charger with an AC-AC efficiency of 98.51%, a volumetric power density of 9.55 kW/L (including coils and magnetic cores), and thermal stability during high-power 20Kw operation.
