Invited byScience, Prof. Meng Ni (BRE, PolyU) and Prof. ZongpingShao (Nanjing TechUniversity, China and Curtin University, Australia) published a commentary perspective articleentitled “Fuel Cells that Operate at 300o–500oC”.
In this perspective, Prof. Ni and Prof. Shao technically commented a Science paper on fuelcells. They appraised the new contributions of the Science paper regarding the proposed new mechanism for proton conduction. They also pointed out the limitations of the Science paperfor future improvement.In addition,they discussed the future of protonic ceramic fuel cells(PCFCs) working at 300o–500oC and the applications of protonic conductors inelectrochemical water-splitting for hydrogen production and electrochemical ammoniasynthesis.
Prof. Meng Niis currently a Professor and Associate Head (Research) of Department of Building and Real Estate of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.He is a Humboldt Fellow(Germany).His research focuses on high temperature fuel cells, rechargeable metal-air batteries, flow batteries, novel electrochemical cells for low-grade heat harvesting, and energy materials.He is serving as a Senior Editor for Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/sustainable-energy-technologies-and-assessments(Elsevier) and a former Associate Editor for Science Bulletin (Elsevier). Recently,he was invited to be an Associate Editor for International Journal of Green Energy: https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/ljge20/current(Taylor & Francis) and International Journal of Energy Research: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/1099114x(Wiley).He is also one of the founding editor of Energy and AI: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/energy-and-ai/(Elsevier).
