Jason Zhang Invited to Write Chapter on Batteries for Handbook
(July 2009)
Congratulations to Dr. Jason Zhang at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory on being invited to write a chapter for the Handbook of Battery Materials. This second edition is being published by Wiley-VCH. Zhang's 20-page chapter will focus on recent findings in metal air batteries and illustrate the technology, barriers, and potential of such devices.
Zhang was selected because of his expertise in lithium batteries. At PNNL's Transformational Materials Science Initiative, he studies nanostructured materials for energy storage, especially for transportation and portable electronics applications. His work and willingness to share it with the scientific community will help advance the frontiers of nanostructured electrochemically active materials in energy storage devices.
