We are delighted to share with you a new Journal of Materials Chemistry A themed issue in honour of Prof John Kilner, on the occasion of his 75th birthday!
During his long, productive career, John Kilner has made numerous seminal contributions to the broad field of Energy Materials, advancing the fundamental understanding of critical processes in solid state batteries and solid oxide cells, and in particular, pioneering the development of methods to directly measure the ionic transport of species in solids. His work has transformed our understanding of the kinetics of surface exchange and diffusion in solids, including the cation segregation process at surfaces, transport along and across grain boundaries, as well as the effect of strain on ion mobility. More recently, he has extended his work to provide unique insights into the development of Li conducting garnet type solid state electrolytes, including focusing on processing of these materials and understanding the impact of humidity on function and stability. We hope that you will join us in celebrating his achievements and continued contributions to the field.
We hope you enjoy reading this collection of papers in Journal of Materials Chemistry A in honour of John Kilner, and guest edited by Stephen Skinner, Viola Birss, Jennifer Rupp and Roger De Souza. A selection of papers can be found below, or you can access the full issue here.
