He has long been engaged in research on the reaction mechanism of gaseous atomic clusters catalytic conversion of inert small molecules (such as CO, CO2, NO, etc.). Small molecules abundant in nature are difficult to transform under mild conditions, but the related process is of great significance to the development of environment, energy and other fields. Cluster reaction research is highly dependent on advanced instruments and equipment, and designing and building scientific instruments from scratch is the premise of cluster research. We sincerely welcome aspiring young people who are interested in instrument design and construction to join our team.
I Am the first or corresponding author in Nat. Commun., J. am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., J. Phys. Chem. Lett. He has published more than 60 papers in other journals. As the person in charge of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (national Youth talent project, major research plan, surface project, etc. 5 projects) and the Beijing Municipal Fund and other projects; Was selected as a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences Youth Innovation Promotion Association, and was rated as an excellent member at the end of the exam; Participate in key R&D projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology as an important backbone; Presided over the youth innovation project and youth talent cultivation project of the Center of Excellence of the Chemical Institute. He was invited to serve on the editorial board of Chemical Bulletin, Applied Chemistry and Chinese Chemical Letters.

Experimental and theoretical research on cluster physics and chemistry, the main directions are:
1. Design and independent construction of cluster scientific experimental instruments
2. Study on the catalytic conversion mechanism of inert small molecules (such as CO, NO, CO2, etc.) on metal clusters 3. Controlled Preparation and Screening of magic number atomic Clusters
