Personal profile

He is mainly engaged in the research of atomic-level controlled synthesis and energy catalysis of single-atom catalysts, and the application of X-ray spectroscopy (XANES, EXAFS) to study the local structure of catalysts on the atomic scale, and the application of in-situ testing technology based on synchrotron radiation large science facility to explore the relevant reaction mechanism. More than 160 SCI papers have been published. Corresponding author/first author (including co-author) in Nat.Catal. (1), Nat.Commun. (3), Angew.chem.in.ed. (4), J. Am. Chem.Soc. (5), Adv. Mater. (5), More than 50 papers were published in Energy Environ. Sci. (3), with an H-index of 62, and a total of more than 13,000 citations. Selected to Clarivate's 2020 and 2021 Global "Highly Cited Scientists" list (in the field of chemistry). He is a young editorial member of periodicals such as Nano Research and SmartMat.
