Prof. Pedro Gomez-Romero, FRSC, is Full Professor of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) (2006-) and Head of the NEO-Energy Lab (www.neoenergy.cat) at the Catalan Institute of Nano-science and Nanotechnology, ICN2 (CSIC-BIST, www.icn2.cat) in Cerdanyola, Barcelona, Spain, 2007.

Ph.D. in Chemistry, Georgetown University, USA, 1987, with Distinction. CSIC Researcher at ICMAB (CSIC), 1990-2007. Sabbatical at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, NREL, Colorado, USA (1998-99). Vicedirector of MATGAS technology Center (2010-2013). Member of the CSIC Materials Science Committee (2012- 2014). He is currently member of EuroScience, the Royal Society of Chemistry, The Electrochemical Society (ECS), International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) and the Asociación Española de Comunicación Científica (AECC). Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) since 2014. Winner of the CIDETEC Award for Research in Electrochemistry 2016.

Prof. Gomez-Romero research is focused on the design, development and application of materials and devices for energy storage and conversion (hybrid supercapacitors, Li and post-Li batteries, flow cells, solar-thermal energy, nanofluids and nanopastes). This includes a variety of materials from inorganics (Polyoxometalates, PBAs) to conducting polymers to nanocarbons, with special emphasis on hybrid nanostructures and nano-composite materials with inorganic clusters or nanoparticles and polymers or carbons. Along this line, Gomez-Romero’s group pioneered the use of Polyoxometalates (POM) in energy storage applications. His most relevant work focuses on Hybrid electrode materials and devices for fast energy storage. Li, Na, Zn batteries; supercapacitors and hybrid devices. The recent creation of a spin-off company "Napptilus Battery Labs” (NBL) aims at putting all the knowledge generated in the lab to work in the development of fast-charging hybrid energy storage devices.

He is Scientific editor of the books "Functional Hybrid Materials" P. Gómez-Romero, C. Sanchez (Eds.) (Wiley-VCH 2004) )  and “Metal Oxides in Supercapacitors” (Elsevier, 2017, D P Dubal , P. Gomez-Romero). Prof. Gomez-Romero is very active in social communication of science through popular science articles, many invited conferences and courses and collaborations in the media. He is the author of the book “Nanomundo” (Materia / El País 20 Nov 2016) and three award-winning popular science books Creator of the popular science web www.cienciateca.com and of the Youtube science Channel TECNOSFERA https://www.youtube.com/c/tecnosfera
