Energy & Environment Science is delighted to welcome Professor Ib Chorkendorff to its Board.

 

Professor Ib Chorkendorff is director of the Danish National Research Foundation's Center for Individual Nanoparticle Functionality (CINF). His research focuses on the fundamental aspects of catalysis in relation to large scale production like the methanol synthesis process, the steam reforming process and ammonia synthesis, as well as processes in relation to energy production. In the latter, the research is focused on designing and realizing new electrode material for fuel cell technology and the reverse process, electrolysis, where hydrogen is produced. Also the primary production of energy from sun light in the form of hydrogen is a topic of major interest. All the research activities share a fundamental approach to the processes on the atomic level developing new nanomaterials with special functionality for the specific use. The nanomaterials may be used for solving some of the future's major environmental and energy challenges mankind is facing.

The Editorial Board and Advisory Board members are high calibre international scientists from both academia and industry and their research interests reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the journal.
