Dr. Shuhui Sun is a professor at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, center for Energy, Materials, and Telecommunications (INRS-EMT) in Montreal, Canada, where he directs the Laboratory of Sustainable Nanotechnology. His current research interests focus on the development of multi-functional nanomaterials (graphene, CNTs, MOF, metal and metal oxides) for Energy and Environment, including PEM fuel cells (low-Pt and Pt-free catalysts), Li-ion and Na-ion batteries, Metal-air batteries, as well as Wastewater treatment. He received a Ph.D. in Materials Engineering from the University of Western Ontario (Canada) and M.Sc./Ph.D. in Physics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has published 10 book chapters, 1 book, and over 100 peer reviewed journals articles, including Advanced Materials, Angewandte Chemie, Advanced Energy Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Nano Energy, and holds 2 US patents. He has been invited to present his research findings at over 100 conferences, workshops, seminars, and institutions worldwide. He is the recipient of various prestigious fellows and awards, such as the ECS Toyota Young Investigator Fellow (2017), Fellow of the Global Young Academy (2017), the Canada Governor General’s Academic Gold Medal (2012), NSERC-Alexander Graham Bell Canada fellowship (2009), The 1st Prize of Natural Science Award of Anhui Province (2014), Quebec Merits fellowship (2007). He is the Vice President of the International Academy of Electrochemical Energy Science (IAOEES). He serves as the Executive Editor-in-Chief of Electrochemical Energy Reviews (EER) (Springer- Nature), and the editorial board member for another 5 journals related to nanomaterials and energy.
