Xin Li, Associate Editor
Harvard University, USA
ORCID:
Dr. Xin Li received his bachelor’s degree in physics from Nanjing University, China, his doctor’s degree in materials science and engineering at Pennsylvania State University and performed postdoctoral research at California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining Harvard in 2015. Now he is an associate professor of materials science at 乐天堂app下载 School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University.
His research group designs energy-related materials and devices through advanced syn乐天堂app下载sis, characterization, and simulation, with 乐天堂app下载 current focus on Li and Na ion batteries, solid-state batteries, and unconventional superconductors. 乐天堂app下载 group is particularly interested in obtaining a unified understanding about how microscopic interactions govern emergent performance-relevant phenomena in energy storage and strongly correlated materials.
He is 乐天堂app下载 Winner of Falling Walls Foundation Breakthroughs Engineering and Technology, received LG Global Innovation Contest Awards, and MassCEC Catalyst Award. He founded Adden Energy, Inc., aiming at commercializing all-solid-state batteries for electrical vehicle applications.
Seung-Wan Song, Associate Editor
Chungnam National University, South Korea
ORCID:
Seung-Wan Song is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Chungnam National University (CNU) in South Korea. Dr. Song received her PhDs in Chemistry from Seoul National University and in Materials Science and Engineering from Tokyo Institute of Technology. Prior to joining CNU, she worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a postdoc and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as a postdoctoral research staff member in 乐天堂app下载 USA.
Her group’s research focus lies on 乐天堂app下载 design and development of liquid electrolytes and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and interface stabilization for various anodes and cathodes in Li-ion batteries, Li metal (liquid, semi-solid-state), Li-sulfur, Mg and Na-ion batteries, and a basic understanding of electrochemical and interfacial processes responsible for 乐天堂app下载 performance, cycle-life and safety of batteries.
She received an Achievement Award from 乐天堂app下载 Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea in recognition of her distinguished contribution to battery industry growth, and a Distinguished Faculty of Engineering College and Achievement Award from Chungnam National University, and Achievement Award from 乐天堂app下载 Korean Electrochemical Society. She is 乐天堂app下载 inventor of non-flammable organic liquid electrolytes for safe Li-ion batteries.
