Biography
Bin Zhu obtained PhD in 1997 from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. He has made tremendous efforts and innovations on fuel cells and new energy conversion technologies over 20 years. He has invented and developed ceria-composite electrolytes for low temperature (300-600°C) solid oxide fuel cells (LTSOFCs), the electrolyte-free fuel cell and single layer fuel cells based on novel functional semiconductor-ionic materials (SIMs). He has established a large research network and led several research teams to explore SIMs for advanced energy applications covering fuel cell, solar cell and photocatalysts/electrolysis. He is Principal Investigator and Lead for establishing and developing semiconductor-ionics and new generation energy technologies. He is one of the Most Cited Researchers in China (Energy sector) for 2014, 2015 and 2016, reports published by Elsevier in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
