Bin Zhu received M.Sc., in 1987 from University of Sci. & Tech. of China and PhD in 1995 from Chalmers University of Technology, Physics and Engineering Physics, Sweden and during 10/ 95-12/97 worked as Postdoc. in Uppsala University (in Ångström Lab). Since 1998, Dr. Zhu moved to KTH and in 1999 became associate professor in Dept of Chemical Engineering and Technology, and now in Dept of Energy Technology, KTH. He is visiting professor in Aalto University and Nanyang Technological University as well as in several Chinese universities to co-supervise research projects and PhD students. From 2018, Zhu has been appointed as visiting professor position in Loughborough University, UK, www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/aae/staff/bin-zhu/
Selected by Hubei Provincial 100-oversea talents program in 2013, Zhu has establish 100-talent teams in two Chinese universities in cooperation with EC - China NANOCOFC (Nanocomposites for advanced fuel cells) research network, www.nanocofc.com . Dr. Zhu has more than 300 publications in nano-composites and new semiconductor-ionic materials for advanced fuel cells from material to device, technology for scaling up into polygeneration systems, e.g. in fuel cells, innovations made on low temperature, 300-600°C SOFCs, electrolyte (layer)-free fuel cell (EFFC), single layer fuel cells (SLFCs), semiconductor-based fuel cell as next generation high-efficient fuel-to-electricity conversion. He has also devoted to establish frontier disciplinary of Semiconductor-Ionics and Semiconductor Electrochemistry for fuel cells and other energy storage devices, e.g. solid batteries..
Zhu has H-index 43 (@ google scholar) and citation over 6700. He is one of the Most Cited scholars in China (Energy sector) continuously for four years (Elsevier).
