of CO<sub class="">2</sub><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>emission produced from the existing fossil-fired power plants to the atmosphere is the most realistic solution to mitigate global warming and climate change. However, the current CO<sub class="">2</sub><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>capture
technologies based on the absorption/adsorption principles are cumbersome, energy-intensive, and cost-prohibitive, implementation of which into the existing power plants would significantly lower the plant efficiency and increase cost of electricity. Capturing
CO<sub class="">2</sub><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>with electrochemical mixed conducting membranes is a new technology emerged in recent years with the potential to achieve virtually unlimited capture efficiency/selectivity, high flux and compatibility
with high-temperature CO<sub class="">2</sub>-containing combustion streams. These unique features promise the new CO<sub class="">2</sub><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>membrane reactors to be cost-effective and energy-efficient. More importantly,

Kevin Huang is currently a SmartState chair professor of Mechanical Engineering Department and director of SmartState Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Center at the University of South Carolina. Prior to joining the University of South Carolina, he served as a senior,
principal and fellow engineer at Stationary Fuel Cell Division of Siemens Energy from 2000 to 2009 and a postdoctoral fellow of Prof. John B. Goodenough at the University of Texas at Austin from 1995 to 2000. He received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from
the University of Science and Technology Beijing in 1992. His current research is focused on gas separation membranes, solid oxide fuel cells, rechargeable batteries, solid-state defect chemistry/electrochemistry and multiscale computational modeling. He currently
teaches Mechanical Engineering Laboratory II courses for undergraduate students and Ceramic Membranes, Defect Chemistry, Energy Storage and Advanced Thermodynamics courses for graduate students. He is the recipient of 2017 University Educational Foundation
Research Award in Science, Engineering and Mathematics, 2015 College of Engineering Research Achievement Award and 2014 University Breakthrough Stars Award.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>
