(3) Research & Achievements
He has been pursuing the designed synthesis, novel properties, and practical applications of functional inorganic materials. His research focuses on:
(i) carbon-based materials for supercapacitors, Li/Na/K-ion batteries, electrocatalysis (HER/OER/ORR), and photothermal evaporation for desalination;
(ii) boron nitride-based materials for thermal catalysis and thermally conductive polymer composites;
(iii) exploration of reactivity-descriptor theory and structure-performance relationships as well as AI4S to guide the rational design of functional materials.
He has published over 120 peer-reviewed papers with more than 12,000 citations. He has registered over 20 patents and has been invited to deliver more than 50 presentations at conferences, including Pacifichem, the 2nd World Materials Conference, and the annual conferences of Chinese Chemical Society, Chinese Materials Research Society, Chinese Society for Composite Materials, China Electrotechnical Society, etc.
He serves as a committee member of Chinese Society for Composite Materials and Jiangsu Materials Research Society. He participated in THE and QS global academic surveys. He also serves as a young committee member for Materials Today Energy, Energy & Environmental Materials, eScience, cScience, InfoMat, and AI for Science, among others, and has served as a guest editor for FlatChem and Journal of Materials Chemistry C.
