Who is Peter Bruce?

Peter George Bruce FRS, FRSE is Scottish chemist, and Wardlaw Professor of Chemistry at the University of St Andrews. His primary research interests are in the fields of solid state chemistry and electrochemistry; particularly solid state ionics, which embraces ionically conducting solids and intercalation compounds. He is interested in the fundamental science of ionically conducting solids and intercalation compounds, in the synthesis of new materials with new properties or combinations of properties, in understanding these properties and in exploring their applications in new devices, especially energy storage devices such as rechargeable lithium batteries. Although ionically conducting solids represent the starting point for much of his research, he has extended his interests well beyond the confines of this subject alone.
