Introducing Qiang Zhang and Michael Saliba

We are delighted to introduce you to our Editors-in-Chief of the two new, recently announced Royal Society of Chemistry journals: EES Batteries and EES Solar, part of the EES family journals.

 

Dr Qiang Zhang is a full professor in the Chemical Engineering Department, Tsinghua University, China. His group mainly focuses on advanced energy chemistry and energy materials, including dendrite-free lithium metal anodes, lithium sulfur batteries, electrolytes, solid state batteries, and energy electrocatalysis. Find out more here and on Dr Zhang’s group webpage here. You can also read some of Dr Zhang’s recent research below:
