About Scott
Professor Scott Donne is a Professor in the School of Environmental and Life Sciences, College of Engineering, Science and Environment at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He holds a PhD in Chemistry, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Science (Honours), all obtained from the University of Newcastle. His professional career began with a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Chemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara from 1996 to 1997, followed by a position as Staff Technology Engineer at Eveready Battery Company, Inc. from 1997 to 2001. In November 2001, he joined the University of Newcastle as the Delta EMD Lecturer in Applied Chemistry within the School of Environmental and Life Sciences and has since been promoted to Professor. Over his tenure, he has secured more than $10 million in external research funding from prestigious sources including the Australian Research Council, CSIRO, Delta EMD Australia, BHP Billiton, ORICA Australia, and others.
Professor Donne's research specializations and academic interests lie in electrochemistry, particularly energy storage materials for batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells; preparation of new materials and evaluation of their behavior and performance; electrodeposition; application of electroanalytical methods; corrosion studies; and industrial chemistry projects. He has authored key publications such as the book chapter 'General Principles of Electrochemistry' (2013), 'Calcium, strontium and barium carbonate mixtures for calcination-carbonation thermochemical energy storage' (2019), 'Investigation of novel hydroxyapatite-doped CaO material for calcination-carbonation thermochemical energy storage' (2018), and 'Separating Faradaic and Non-Faradaic Charge Storage Contributions in Activated Carbon Electrochemical Capacitors Using Electrochemical Methods I. Step Potential Electrochemical Spectroscopy' (2015). His contributions have had substantial impact on the field, reflected in a Google Scholar h-index of 58 and 12,909 total citations. Professor Donne has supervised 37 completed higher degree by research students and holds affiliations with university research centers focused on energy technologies. Among his major honors is the Fulbright Senior Scholarship awarded in 2019, which facilitated his visit to Argonne National Laboratory and the University of California.
