5 He received his BSc (1964) and PhD (1966) from Edin-burgh University, and went to Queen s, Sheffield, Birmingham University and UCLA before joining the Northwestern University (2008). He was the first to successfully synthesize a mechanically interlocked molecule, known as a catenane, thereby helping to establish the field of mechanical bond chemistry. Stoddart s research enabled the development of self-assembly processes and template-directed synthesis for the generation of a variety of mechanically interlocked molecules, the movements of which can be controlled. Such molecules have a wide range of applications, including as components of drug-delivery systems, electronic sensors, and motorized devices. His work has been recognized by many awards, medals and honorary doctorates. The first and the latest of his awards were from the Carbohydrate Chemistry Award of The Chemical Society (1978) and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (2016), which he shared with French chemist Jean-Pierre Sauvage and Dutch chemist Bernard Feringa.

6 He is currently on the international advisory boards of numerous journals, including Chemistry World, ChemPlusChem, Macromolecular Rapid Communications and Or-ganic Letters. He is editor-in-chief of Applied Nanoscience. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society (1994), the German Academy (Leopoldina) of Natural Sciences (1999), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2005), and the Science Division of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (2006). He is a member of the Ameri-can Academy of Arts and Sciences (2012) and the National Academy of Sciences (2014). He is an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (2008) and the Royal Society of Chemistry (2011). Peter G. Bruce, University of Oxford, UKPeter Bruce is a British chemist and Wolfson Professor of Materials in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford. He is Director of the UK SUPERGEN Energy Storage Hub. He obtained his PhD at the University of Aberdeen (1982).

7 Bruce s 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 (ceramic and polymeric materials) 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 for energy storage such as devices such as rechargeable lithium batteries. Although ionically conducting solids represent the starting point for much of his research, he has ex-tended his interests beyond the confines of this subject alone. His pioneering work has provided many advances. For example, Peter discovered that crystalline polymer electrolytes actually are better conductors than amorphous ones.

8 He used solid-state chemical principles to develop a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that has since revolutionized the electronics industry. He also developed lithium air batteries that have found uses in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Peter s outstanding research has been recognized with a number of prestigious awards and fellowships. He received the Tilden Prize of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2008, the Carl Wagner Award of the Electrochemical Society in 2011 and the 2012 AkzoNobel UK Science Award of the Royal Society of Schuhmann, Ruhr-University Bochum, GermanyWolfgang Schuhmann obtained his diploma degree in chemistry from the University in Karlsruhe, Germany (1982) and his PhD from the Technical University of Munich (1986). After finishing his habilitation thesis at the Technical University of Munich in 1993, he was appointed as Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the Ruhr-Universit t Bochum in 1996.

9 His publications in the literature span the breadth of his research interests, addressing micro- and nanoelectrochemistry; development of tools for microelectrochemistry (scanning electroche mical microscopy); electrochemical robotics and combinatorial electrochemistry; modified electrodes for biosensors, DNA assays; local visualization of electrochemical activity on surfaces with applications in corrosion, material chemistry, electrocatalyst development; fuel cells, biofuel cells, Li batteries, photo electrochemistry; carbon nanotubes as electrode materials; electrochemical deposition of catalyst nanoparticles and noble-metal free electrocatalysts. He has received many awards, including the Biosensors & Bioelectronics Award (2000), Julius-von-Haast Fellowship Award of the Royal Society of New Zealand and the Hum-boldt Foundation (2008), Katsumi-Niki-Award of ISE (2011), Alessando Volta Medal of the Electrochemical Society (ECS, 2018) and the Heyrovsky-Ilkovic-Nernst-Lecture of the GDCh, the Czech and the Slovak Chemical Societies (2014), Professor Schuhmann is Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC, 2005), Fellow of the ISE (2012), and was the recipient of a Howard Fellowship of the University of New South Wales, Sydney (2014).

10 He has also been a Distin-guished Visiting Professor at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Iuliu Hatieganu , Cluj-Napoca, Romania (2016), the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel (2017) and is recipient of the Schulich Visiting Professor Lectureship for Annual Meeting of the International Society of ElectrochemistryElectrochemistry: linking Resources to Sustainable DevelopmentPeidong Yang, University of California, Berkeley, USAP eidong Yang received a in chemistry from University of Science and Technology of China in 1993 and a PhD in chemistry from Harvard University in 1997. He did postdoctoral research at University of California, Santa Barbara before joining the faculty in the department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley in 1999. He is cur-rently professor in the Department of Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering and a senior faculty scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
