Special issue on electrochemical energy storage and conversion

Dr. Yun ZHENG is a full professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Fuzhou University, China. He received his Ph.D degree in Chemical Engineering and Technology from Tsinghua University in China from 2015 to 2019, and did his postdoctoral training at the University of Waterloo in Canada from 2019 to 2022. In 2023, he was promoted to full professor at Fuzhou University. His research interest is the development of solid-state electrochemical energy materials, especially for solid-state lithium metal batteries, high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and solid oxide cells. He has published more than 70 international journal papers and 2 books on electrochemical energy storage and conversion

Dr. Gaixia ZHANG is a professor and Marcelle-Gauvreau Engineering Research Chair at École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS), University of Quebec, Montréal, Canada. She received her Ph.D degree from Polytechnique Montréal, and then continued her research at Western University and INRS, Canada. Her research interests focus on advanced materials (catalysts, electrodes and electrolytes) for sustainable energy conversion and storage applications, including batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen production, and CO₂ reduction. She is also interested in interface and device engineering, as well as in-situ characterizations and theoretical simulations. She has published over 150 articles on advanced materials for electrochemical energy

Dr. Sixu DENG is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at Concordia University, Montréal. Before joining Concordia, Dr. Deng worked at McMaster University as an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow in 2022. Dr. Deng received his BEng. and first Ph.D degree at Beijing University of Technology in 2011 and 2018, respectively, and his second Ph.D degree at Western University in 2022. His research interests focus on the development of high-performance energy storage devices united with novel materials design and advanced characterizations. The research directions include solid-state batteries, ion-based batteries, supercapacitors, atomic/molecular layer deposition, synchrotron radiation, and in-situ/operando techniques
