Energy & Environmental Science is delighted to announce that Professor Markus Antonietti of the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, has joined our Advisory Board.

Markus’ interests include the synthesis of novel polymers and sol-gel materials, green chemistry and carbon negative chemistry cycles as well as energy materials and artificial photosynthesis.

Professor Antonietti’s recent EES communication has been attracting lots of interest! Read it today:

Sulfur-mediated synthesis of carbon nitride: Band-gap engineering and improved functions for photocatalysis
Jinshui Zhang, Jianhua Sun, Kazuhiko Maeda, Kazunari Domen, Ping Liu, Markus Antonietti, Xianzhi Fu and Xinchen Wang
DOI: 10.1039/C0EE00418A

Energy & Environmental Science is delighted to welcome three new members to its Advisory Board:

• Yang Shao-Horn (MIT, USA)
  Materials for Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage (Batteries and Fuel Cells); Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Electrochemical Reactions
• Chang-jun Liu (Tianjin, China)
  Catalysis; Utilization of Greenhouse Gases; Natural Gas Conversion; Plasma Chemical Processing for Energy; Fuels and Environment
• Emilio Palomares (ICIQ, Spain)
  Molecular photovoltaic devices based on nanostructured metal oxides and organic conductors; photophysical characterization of molecular materials and molecular devices

We welcome them all to the Board and look forward to working with them over the coming months and years.

New Scientific Editors

We are also pleased to announce that Emilio Palomares, alongside Editorial Board member Peng Wang (CIAC, China), will also act as Scientific Editors for Energy & Environmental Science. They will have the special responsibility of providing additional support and advice to the Cambridge Editorial Office regarding submissions in the area of molecular solar conversion.

Professor Peng Wang is Professor of Chemistry at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry. He was previously on the Energy & Environmental Science Advisory Board and is now the first Editorial Board member from Asia.

His research interests include the design and synthesis of exotic organic materials in bionic nanoarchitechures for light energy conversion and closely related charge and energy transfer processes.

We look forward to working closely with him in the future.

Editor-in-Chief of Energy & Environmental Science, Nate Lewis will direct the new solar fuels hub at the California Institute of Technology (CalTech), USA.

The groups at CalTech have been awarded $122 million (£79 million) to establish a research hub to develop techniques that imitate nature and generate fuel directly from sunlight.
