معرفی
Professor John Zhu is a faculty member at the School of Chemical Engineering, University of Queensland (UQ), and serves as the inaugural Director of the Carbon Energy Research Centre. He earned his PhD in Chemical Engineering from UQ in 2002, followed by a lectureship at Curtin University of Technology (2002-2004) before returning to UQ in 2004.
Research Interests: His work focuses on advanced catalysis, gas adsorption and separation, direct carbon fuel cells, and solid oxide fuel cells with applications in clean energy and environmental engineering. Key projects include scaling up direct carbon fuel cells, developing hierarchical materials for gas storage, and optimizing carbon nanotube composites for automotive use.
Article Trends: Recent publications highlight innovations in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas separation, electrochemical CO2 reduction to CO/syngas, and perovskite oxide catalysts for fuel cells. His work spans experimental validation, computational modeling, and industrial-scale applications.
