Introducing the inaugural EES Batteries Editorial Board

We are delighted to introduce you to our inaugural Editorial Board for recently launched EES Batteries, working with our Editor-in-Chief, Professor Qiang Zhang. As companion journal to Energy & Environmental Science (EES), our Editorial Board will be ensuring that the same very high levels of impact and quality are maintained for publications in EES Batteries. Our Editorial team is dedicated to making our journal the home for exceptional batteries research and welcome you to join our community.

 


Qiang Zhang
Tsinghua University, China
Editor-in-Chief
Dr. Qiang Zhang received his MSc and PhD degrees from Tsinghua University, China. After his postdoc at Case Western Reserve University and the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, he joined Tsinghua University. Now he is a full professor in the Chemical Engineering department at Tsinghua University.

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, especially the structure design and full demonstration of advanced energy materials in working devices.

Dr. Xin Li received his bachelor’s degree in physics from Nanjing University, China, his doctor’s degree in materials science and engineering at Pennsylvania State University and performed postdoctoral research at California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining Harvard in 2015. Now he is an associate professor of materials science at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University.

His research group designs energy-related materials and devices through advanced synthesis, characterization, and simulation, with the current focus on Li and Na ion batteries, solid-state batteries, and unconventional superconductors.

Seung-Wan Song
Chungnam National University, South Korea
Associate Editor

  Seung-Wan Song is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Chungnam National University (CNU) in South Korea. Dr. Song received her PhDs in Chemistry from Seoul National University and in Materials Science and Engineering from Tokyo Institute of Technology. Prior to joining CNU, she worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a postdoc and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as a postdoctoral research staff member in the USA.

Her group’s research focus lies on the design and development of liquid electrolytes and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and interface stabilization for various anodes and cathodes in Li-ion batteries, Li metal (liquid, semi-solid-state), Li-sulfur, Mg and Na-ion batteries, and a basic understanding of electrochemical and interfacial processes responsible for the performance, cycle-life and safety of batteries.
