Hydrogen Production, Separation and Purification for Energy

Angelo Basile, Professor in Chemical Engineering Principles and a Senior Researcher at the Italian National Research Council, is responsible for research in ultra-pure hydrogen production using Pd-based membrane reactors. Editor of 32 books and 30 special issues, with over 140 scientific papers (H-index 37, over 3500 citations), Dr Basile is also an associate editor of the Int. J. Hydrogen Energy and Editor-in-chief of the Int. J. Membrane Science and Technology, and a member of the Editorial Board of 19 international journals.Francesco Dalena is a Ph.D. doctor at the University of Calabria, Italy.Jianhua Tong is an Associate Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Clemson University, USA. Dr Tong's research interests focus on Advanced Solid State Ionic Materials and Devices for efficient, clean, and sustainable energy conversion/storage/harvest. He has published more than 60 peer-reviewed technical papers and 5 book chapters, and filed 13 patents. His research papers have been cited more than 3000 times and his H-index is over 26.T. Nejat Veziroğlu is President of the International Association for Hydrogen Energy, and Emeritus Professor at the University of Miami, USA. He has published over 350 scientific reports/papers and edited over 200 volumes on heat and mass transfer, renewable energies and hydrogen energy. He is a recipient of several International Awards and Honorary Doctorates. In 2000, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Economics for both envisioning the Hydrogen Economy and striving towards its realisation.
