About this book

This book aims to discuss the cutting-edge materials and technologies for zinc-air batteries. From the perspective of basic research and engineering application, the principle innovation, research progress, and technical breakthrough of key materials such as positive and negative electrodes, electrolytes, and separators of zinc-air batteries are discussed systematically, which can be used to guide and promote the development of zinc-air battery technology. We do believe that our experiences and in-depth discussions would make this book useful for researchers at all levels in the energy area and provide them with a quick way of understanding the development of zinc-air batteries.

About the author

Prof. Shengjie Peng is currently Full Professor in Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He completed his Ph.D. (2010) in Nankai University and B.S. (2004) in Anhui Normal University. Then, he went to Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore as Postdoctoral Fellow with Prof. Qingyu Yan and Prof. Seeram Ramakrishna till 2017. His current research interests focus on development of rationally designed functional materials with finely tailored nanoscale architecture to tackle critical problems (such as hydrogen production, energy density, power density, cycle and calendar life, safety, and cost) in diverse energy-related applications, including water splitting, ORR, CO2 reduction, batteries, fuel cells, as well as clean and renewable energy. To date, he has co-authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications, more than 20 Chinese patents, one chapter in a book, and one English book. Based on his research achievements in electrochemical catalysis and storage, he got several honors, including Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, FRSC, China One Thousand Young Talent, China Jiangsu Specially Appointed Professor, High-Level Entrepreneurial and Innovative Talents Program of Jiangsu, etc.
