Yun Zheng is studying for a PhD degree from the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology (INET) at Tsinghua University, China. He received his BS and MS degrees in chemistry from China Three Gorges University in 2012 and Ocean University of China in 2015, respectively. During 2009-2012, he studied in Engineering Research Center of Eco-environment in Three Gorges Reservoir Region, Ministry of Education, China for investigations of photocatalysis and photo-electrocatalysis of carbonaceous contaminants using doped semiconductor and organometallic complex materials. The research topic in Key Laboratory of Marine Chemistry Theory and Technology, Ministry of Education, China during 2012-2015 is electrodialysis and membrane bioreactor. His current research interests are electrochemical energy storage and conversion, especially for the research of high temperature electrolysis of CO2/H2O to produce sustainable fuels using solid oxide electrolytic cells (SOECs). Dr. Bo Yu is an associate professor at Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology (INET) at Tsinghua University, China. Dr. Yu obtained her B.S. and M.Sc. in physical chemistry from Northeastern University in 1997 and 2000, respectively. She received her PhD from Tsinghua University in 2004 and joined the Nuclear Science & Engineering Department at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a visiting researcher in 2012. Dr. Yu has been responsible for the research and development of nuclear hydrogen or syngas production through high temperature electrolysis of CO2/H2O at INET since 2005. Her research interests are electrochemical energy storage and conversion with some focuses on solid oxide cells (SOFC/SOEC) technologies, surface/interface electrochemistry, theoretical and experimental analyses of electrode kinetics, electrocatalysis and applied electrochemistry. She is the author/co-author of more than 100 peer-reviewed articles, over 30 patents and several book chapters. Dr. Yu is a Board Member of Nuclear Hydrogen Division of International Associate Hydrogen Energy (IAHE). She is also an Associated Editor of the International Journal of Energy Technology & Policy. Dr. Jianchen Wang is a professor at the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology (INET) at Tsinghua University, China. He earned his B.S. degree in physical chemistry and master's degree in applied chemistry from Tsinghua University in 1987 and 1992. He has worked in INET since 1987. He obtained a position as an associate professor in 1998 and took a position as a professor in 2004 in INET. He is a deputy director of China Society of Nuclear and Radiochemistry. His research interests are in the areas of nuclear chemistry, separation chemistry in actinides and other nuclear fission elements. Dr. Jiujun Zhang is a Professor at Shanghai University and Principal Research Officer (Emeritus) at National Research Council of Canada (NRC). Dr. Zhang received his B.S. and M.Sc. in Electrochemistry from Peking University in 1982 and 1985, respectively, and his Ph.D. in Electrochemistry from Wuhan University in 1988. After completing his Ph.D., he took a position as an associate professor at the Huazhong Normal University for two years. Starting in 1990, he carried out three terms of postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology, York University, and the University of British Columbia.
