My favorite food is steamed fish. If I could have dinner with three famous scientists from history, they would be Faraday, Edison, and Einstein. And I would ask them how to harness the electrical energy in lightning for human use. If I were not a scientist, I would be a geographer. My most exciting discovery to date has been rapid room-temperature synthesis of nanocrystalline spinels as oxygen reduction and evolution electrocatalysts. I lose track of time when I read an interesting book. My favorite song is You Raise Me Up. My favorite motto is “Chance favors only the prepared mind” (Louis Pasteur). My biggest motivation is to invent safe rechargeable batteries with large capacities and long cycling lives. I like refereeing because I can learn from the work I am reviewing. When I'm frustrated, I like to look at beautiful landscape paintings or photos. My 5 top papers: References 1“Rapid room-temperature synthesis of nanocrystalline spinels as oxygen reduction and evolution electrocatalysts”: F. Cheng, J. Shen, B. Peng, Y. Pan, Z. Tao, J.
