Abstract
For this themed issue of Nanomaterials and Energy (NME), we had the opportunity of conducting an interview with Dr. Todd G. Deutsch. Dr. Deutsch is a Senior Scientist in the Hydrogen Technologies & Systems Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, CO, USA. He has been a member of the Turner photoelectrochemical hydrogen production group at NREL since August 2006. He works on identifying and characterizing appropriate materials for generating hydrogen fuel from water using sunlight as the only energy input. Recently, his work has focused on ternary nitride materials grown by molecular beam epitaxy and corrosion remediation strategies for high-efficiency III–V photoelectrodes. In each of the past 6 years, he has been honored as an Outstanding Mentor by the US Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science in recognition of his work as an advisor to over 25 students in the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship program at NREL.
