Professor Abdelkader Zarrouk was born in 1973 in Taza, Morocco. He obtained his PhD in Physical-Chemistry of Materials from the Faculty of Sciences, Mohammed Premier University, Oujda, Morocco, in 2011. He has published over 798 articles in international journals (indexed by Scopus), with an h-index of 96 (25437 citations according to Scopus) and a Google Scholar h-index of 99 (28784 citations according to Google Scholar). He has also presented around 300 communications at symposia and national/international meetings. My Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) is 5.152, according to Scopus. He has developed three Moroccan and six American patents. He serves on the editorial board of twenty-six (26) international journals and has reviewed more than 600 articles in over 80 international journals published by Elsevier, Springer, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the American Chemical Society, Taylor & Francis, and others. He is the author of two books and co-author of several book chapters (23). He is one of the top 2% of the world's most influential researchers (2020-2025) according to the Stanford University rankings. In 2021, he was awarded the Prize of Distinction at the 2nd Research Excellence Awards (best chemistry publisher), organised by the National Centre for Scientific and Technical Research (NCSTR) and Clarivate, on 29 June in Rabat, Morocco. In 2022, he was honoured with the Award of Distinction at the 1st edition of the ‘Morocco Scopus Awards’ in the field of materials science, organised by the NCSTR and ELSEVIER, on 6 October in Rabat, Morocco. He was ranked first in the Top 15 most prolific Moroccan researchers for the period 2014-2025 in chemistry according to Scopus data. His main research interests lie in the field of physical chemistry, particularly electrochemistry (corrosion and inhibition of metals and alloys, electrodeposition of thin layers). He is also interested in the application of certain quantum chemical methods such as density functional theory (DFT), molecular dynamics simulation, and other semi-empirical methods. He is particularly interested in the elimination of heavy metals and radioactive elements using adsorbent materials, and his research focuses on organic solar cells, applications of newly developed thin films, and the electro-fenton process.
