Congratulations Professor Lou

11 Sep 2015

By Aliya Anwar.

On behalf of the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C Editorial Offices I would like to congratulate Dr David Lou, Nanyang Technological University, on his recent promotion to full professor, making him the youngest full professor at NTU Singapore.

Dr David Lou received his B.Eng (2002) and M.Eng. (2004) degrees from the National University of Singapore. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering from Cornell University in 2008. Right after graduation, he joined Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as an Assistant Professor, and he was promoted to Associate Professor in September 2013. He has published about 210 papers with a total citation of >21,000, and an H-index of 83. His main research interest is on designed synthesis of nanostructured materials for energy and environmental applications.

Dr Lou is currently an Associate Editor for Journal of Materials Chemistry A and last year co-Guest Edited a themed issue for Journal of Materials Chemistry A on flexible energy storage and conversion.

Congratulations Professor Lou on this highly impressive achievement!

Energy devices go wireless

28 Jul 2015

By Aliya Anwar.

Written by Carolyn Devlin for Chemistry World

Scientists in China have developed a new method for connecting energy devices without using wires. Not only are the devices easy to make, they continue to work even when bent or twisted – a vital trait for flexible electronics.

Traditionally, energy devices involve modules connected in a series by electrically conducting wires. Although this is the standard system, fabricating such devices is complicated and costly, and the risk of short circuits means these devices also pose a serious safety hazard.

Interested? The full article can be read in Chemistry World.

The modules can be fused into various patterns, depending on the specific application
