Fabian I. Ezema is a professor at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. He earned a PhD in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. His research focused on several areas of Materials Science, from synthesis and characterizations of particles and thin-film materials through chemical routes with emphasis on energy applications. For the last 15 years, he has been working on energy conversion and storage (cathodes, anodes, supercapacitors, solar cells, among others), including novel methods of synthesis, characterization and evaluation of the electrochemical and optical properties. He has published about 180 papers in various international journals and given over 50 talks at various conferences. His h-index is 21 with over 1500 citations and he has served as reviewer for several high impact journals and as an editorial board member.

Ting-Kai Zhao is a full professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering of the Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, China. Prof. Zhao obtained his PhD degree from Materials Science and Engineering of Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU) in 2005 and is now the vice-director of the Shaanxi Engineering Laboratory for Graphene New Carbon Materials & Applications. His researcher topics are: the synthesis of graphene, carbon nanotubes (single-wall, multi-wall CNTs and amorphous CNTs), flexible graphite, 2D nanomaterials, the growth mechanism, and applications of carbon nanomaterials in composites, energy conversion (solar cell, supercapacitor and Li-ion batteries), smart device and biosensors. He has published 2 English books, 10 patents more than 100 academic papers at international journals including Nanoscale, Journal of Power Sources, Journal of Alloys and Compounds, Carbon, Scientific Reports and Applied Physics Letters et al., and also served as these Journals' reviewers. He was awarded the first prize of the science and technology of Shaanxi province (2013).
