Bin Zhu, 1989 as a researcher invited to Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden for fuel cells, and got PhD in 1995. During 10/ 95-12/97 worked as Postdoc. in Uppsala University (Ångström Lab). Since 1998, Dr. Zhu moved to KTH and in 1999 became associate professor (docent) and principal investigator and group leader in KTH with 20 years. He had been visiting professor in Aalto University and Nanyang Technological University and professor in several Chinese universities, and currently in Loughborough University, UK. https://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/aae/staff/bin-zhu/.
Prof. Zhu has been selected by Chinese overseas talent programs in Hubei province and also in Jiangsu province. 2020-2025 as an oversea Changjiang professor in Southeast University. Zhu is one of the Most Cited scholars in China (Energy sector, Elsevier).
Zhu is coordinating an EC - China NANOCOFC (Nanocomposites for advanced fuel cells) research network initiated by EU-project then always active till today, www.nanocofc.com .
Dr. Zhu has more than 450 publications (Google scholar: above 0ver 20000 citations and H-index 75) in nano-composites and novel semiconductor-ionic materials (SIMs) for super proton conductors and advanced fuel cells/solar cells from material to device, technology for polygeneration systems. His innovations on SIMs, proton wave-transport and wave-particle duality resulted in super proton conductors and single layer (SIM) fuel cells (SLFCs) leading to next generation high-efficient energy storage and conversion. Prof. Zhu has devoted to establish frontier disciplinary of Semiconductor-Ionics and Semiconductor Electrochemistry towards Quantum Ionics, Quantum energy materials/devices and Quantum Computing.
Zhu is Co-Editor-in-chief: Energy Materials (ESCI, IF = 11.2 (2025)Energy Materials (energymaterj.com)
