Xiao-Dong Zhou
Dr. Zhou is a research scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which he joined in August 2005, after 2 years as an Assistant Research Professor at University of Missouri-Rolla. At PNNL, Dr. Zhou is leading research on materials for energy conversion, including cathode for solid oxide fuel cells, thermoelectric oxides, and nanocomponents for novel solar cells. He has been principal investigator or co-principal investigator of several programs on materials development related to energy science and technology, and thermoelectrics.
Since 2001, his early career has been highlighted by 40 peer-reviewed articles that span the areas of structural, transport, and magnetic properties of condensed matters; nonstoichiometric chemistry; advanced processing and device physics. In addition, he has published 5 invited book chapters, 3 invited journal articles, and 16 proceedings papers; contributed to over 75 presentations; and received 2 US patents.
On the Transformational Materials Initiative, Dr. Zhou will manage and coordinate the initiative's project entitled "Multicomponent Assembly to Achieve Charge Separation and Transport for Energy Conversion." He is developing the space charge model for mixed conduction. In addition, he will participate into synthesis and characterization.
Research Interests:
Fundamental physics and electrochemistry of the materials for energy conversion and storage systems, including fuel cells, thermoelectrics, photoelectrochemistry, capacitors, and batteries; opto-electronic materials; nanocrystalline electronic ceramics.
