Electrochemical Energy (ePub)

San Ping Jiang obtained his BEng in ceramic materials from South China University of Technology in 1982 and PhD in electrochemistry from The City University, London, in 1988. He is a professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, deputy director of Fuels and Energy Technology Institute, Curtin University, Australia, and adjunct professor at University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Dr. Jiang has authored and coauthored 10 book chapters and three books, and published approximately 270 journal papers. His research interests encompass solid oxide fuel cells, proton-exchange membrane and direct alcohol fuel cells, water electrolysis, solid-state ionics, electrocatalysis, and nanostructured functional materials.

Xueliang (Andy) Sun is a professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier I) for the development of nanomaterials for clean energy, at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. Dr. Sun received his PhD degree in materials chemistry at the University of Manchester, UK, in 1999. Then, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the University of British Columbia, Canada, during 1999-2001. He was a research associate at the National Institut de la Recherche Scientifique, Quebec, Canada, during 2001-2004. Dr. Sun's research is focused on advanced nanostructured materials for energy conversion and storage, including fuel cells and Li batteries.

Jiujun Zhang is a principal research officer at the National Research Council of Canada and a fellow of the International Society of Electrochemistry. His expertise lies in electrochemistry, photoelectrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry, electrocatalysis, fuel cells (polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, and direct methanol fuel cells), batteries, and supercapacitors. Dr. Zhang received his BS and MSc in electrochemistry from Peking University in 1982 and 1985, respectively, and his PhD in electrochemistry from Wuhan University in 1988. He serves as the editor/editorial board member for several journals and as series book editor for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion, CRC Press.
