Dr. Jicheng Guo is a Chemical Engineer of the Chemical and Fuel Cycle Technologies Division at Argonne National Laboratory. He specializes in molten salt chemistry, materials characterization, and electrochemistry.

Dr. Guo’s current work focuses on developing advanced electrochemical sensors to monitor the corrosion of structural metal alloys in molten salt environments. These sensors have great potential in various applications such as next-generation concentrating solar power systems (Gen3 CSP), and electrolytic metal production. Dr. Guo also collaborates with scientists from the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne to investigate the atomic-scale structure of molten salt-metal solutions using high energy X-ray diffraction technology to understand the fundamental correlation between structures and physical properties.

Prior to joining Argonne, Dr. Guo was a research assistant at Boston University, where he focused on understanding the degradation of ceramic materials in molten oxy-fluoride solutions for solid oxide membrane (SOM) based metal production applications. 

Dr. Jicheng Guo received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Boston University, M.Sc. in Materials Science and Engineering from Université de Picardie Jules Verne, and B.Eng. in Polymer Materials from East China University of Science and Technology.
