Stephen Skinner joined Imperial College in 1998 and was promoted to Professor in 2014. In March 2021, he was appointed the Ceres Power/RAEng Research Chair in Electrochemical Devices for the Zero Carbon Economy. His research interests include materials for new energy technologies, focusing primarily on the chemical and physical properties of solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes and electrodes, encompassing their electrical and structural characteristics. He has extensive experience using neutron and synchrotron facilities to undertake in-situ high-temperature characterization of new materials, relating to their structural characteristics and electrochemical properties. A particular field of interest is the development of interstitial oxide ion conductors for fuel cell applications. His research group is engaged in the development of high-temperature electrolysers based on oxide ion and proton-conducting oxides, permeation membranes, and sensor coatings for solid-state electrochemical sensors. Stephen has collaborated widely across Europe, Canada, and Japan on new materials development and continues to develop links with research groups worldwide.
