| Bibliography: | Dr Fan Dong received his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering in 2010 from Zhejiang University. Currently, he is a Professor at Chongqing Key Laboratory of Catalysis and Functional Organic Molecules, College of Environment and Resources, Chongqing Technology and Business University. He was a visiting scholar from 2009 to 2010 at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research interests include functional nanomaterials, photocatalysis, air pollution control and supercapacitors. Fei Li received his B. Eng. from Chongqing University in 2013. He is continuing his master study in the college of materials science and engineering of Chongqing University (Prof. Yu Xin Zhang's group) to get his master's degree in 2016. His research interest focuses on fabrication of novel metal oxide nanomaterials for supercapacitors. Dr Li Zhang received her B. Eng. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2004. After two years of industrial experience in Micron, she continued her Ph.D. study in the same department at NUS and received her Ph.D. degree in 2011. She worked as a research engineer from 2010 to 2011 at NUS and a research fellow in Professor Ruoff's group at The University of Texas at Austin from 2011 to 2012. Now Dr Zhang is a research scientist in the Institute of Chemical and Engineering sciences in Singapore. Dr Zhang's research interest is advanced materials for energy storage and conversion, fundamental materials chemistry and physics, electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, and synthesis and study of novel catalytic materials. Dr Yu Xin Zhang received his B. Eng. and M. Eng. in Chemical Engineering from Tianjin University in 2000 and 2003, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2008, and continued to work as a research fellow in Prof. Hua Chun Zeng's group at NUS until 2009. Now Dr Zhang is a full professor in the College of Materials Science and Engineering in Chongqing University. Dr Zhang's research interest is self-assembled nanostructures for energy storage materials and photocatalysts. Ming Huang received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from Chongqing University in 2011 and 2014 (Prof. Yu Xin Zhang's group), respectively. Currently, he is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) under the supervision of Prof. Rodney S. Ruoff. His research interests involve self-assembled nanostructures for energy storage materials, and CVD synthesis of graphene and their applications in electronic and optical devices.
