Open for Nominations: 2023 EES Lectureship

Now welcoming nominations for the 2023 EES Lectureship Award!

Recognising and supporting those at an early stage of their independent career working in an energy research topic within the scope of Energy & Environmental Science, the EES Lectureship is a platform for early career researchers to showcase their research to the wider scientific community.

The Lectureship is awarded annually to an outstanding emerging researcher who has published in the journal in the past three years (this includes articles with a publication date in or after October 2020). The winner will receive an £1000 honorarium and will be given the opportunity to attend and present their research at a leading international conference (in the event that this is not possible, for example due to travel restrictions, the presentation will be online).

Nominations must be made to the Editorial Office at ees-rsc@rsc.org by the 4th of December 2023 using the lectureship nomination form. Nominations must also include:

  • A brief letter of recommendation from the nominator.
  • A supporting letter of recommendation from a separate referee, with detailed comments on the specific contributions, achievements, or potential of the nominee.
  • A nominee curriculum vitae, including a complete list of publications and invited or plenary talks given.

Further information including eligibility and selection criteria can be found on our website: rsc.li/ees-lectureship. If you have any questions or queries about the lectureship, please contact us at ees-rsc@rsc.org.

We look forward to receiving your nomination!

Introducing Energy & Environmental Science’s newest Editorial Board member, Jaephil Cho

We are delighted to introduce the newest member of the Energy & Environmental Science Editorial Board, Professor Jaephil Cho.

Jaephil Cho is a UNIST Distinguished Professor in the Department of Energy & Chemical Engineering at Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST). He also served as a Director of the Battery R&D Center at UNIST, which conducts industry-oriented R&D collaborations with LG EnSol, Hyundai Motors, Samsung SDI, and SK On.

After receiving his PhD degree in Ceramic Engineering at Iowa State University in Ames, USA, in 1995, he was a post-doctoral research associate in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, USA until 1996. After working for Samsung SDI for cathode materials development, focusing on Ni-rich and Mn-rich oxides, for 6 years until 2002, he joined as an Assistant Professor at Kumoh National Institute of Science and Technology and Hanyang University in Korea until 2008. In 2009, he became a UNIST Professor. He was a director of the Samsung SDI- UNIST Future Batteries Research Center between 2013 and 2021 and was a Member of the Presidential Advisory Council on Science & Technology of the Republic of Korea from 2016 to 2017.

His current research is focused mainly on electrode materials, cell design, interfacial characterizations, full cell manufacturing of Li-ion, all solid state, and Li batteries. He has published over 400 papers, with a h-index exceeding 120, and has also published over 150 patents and patent applications.

Read some of Jaephil’s recent work in EES:

Carbide-mediated catalytic hydrogenolysis: defects in graphene on a carbonaceous lithium host for liquid and all-solid-state lithium metal batteries

Exploring the artificially induced nonstoichiometric effect of Li2RuO3 as a reactive promoter on electrocatalytic behavior

High energy density anodes using hybrid Li intercalation and plating mechanisms on natural graphite

Please join us in welcoming Professor Jaephil Cho to the Energy & Environmental Science Editorial Board!
