Metal Oxides in Supercapacitors

Deepak P. Dubal, Ph.D, is currently working as a senior researcher at University of Adelaide, Australia. He worked as a Marie-Curie Fellow (BP-DGR) at Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Spain (2014), and a Alexander von Humboldt Fellow (2012), Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany. Dr. Dubal received his Ph.D. in Physics from Shivaji University Kolhapur, India, in 2011. Since then he has been awarded at international and national (India) conferences for his research excellence. He is a member of the editorial board for Scientific Reports, Nature Publishing Group and Electrochemical Energy Technology (De Gruyder Publications). Dr. Dubal is the author of over 120 research articles, book chapters, and has filed seven patents. His research interests are focused on the chemical synthesis of nanostructured materials, hybrid nanomaterials and their applications in energy storage devices with special emphasis on Li-ion batteries, supercapacitors, Electrochemical Flow Cells, and Li-ion capacitors. Pedro Gomez-Romero, Ph.D., is a Full Professor at NEO-Energy Group Leader at Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Spain. Prof. Gomez-Romero received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Georgetown University, USA in 1987 with Distinction. He was a CSIC Researcher at ICMAB from 1990 to 2007, and took his sabbatical at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA (1998–99). Dr. Gomez-Romero is the leading scientist of 5 main national (Spanish) research projects and several international research projects. His research focuses on energy storage and conversion, advanced functional materials and nanocomposites, new oxides, polyoxometalates, and polymers. He is the editor of Functional Hybrid Materials (Wiley-VCH) and two award-winning books in the area of popular science. Dr. Gomez-Romero has published over 200 articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings as well as having filed 6 patents.
