Biography
Fuxiang Zhang received his PhD degree from Nankai University, China in 2004, and became a full Professor of physical chemistry at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2013. Meanwhile, he worked as a postdoc at Pierre and Marie Curie University and the University of Tokyo. As leader of a research group focused on materials and catalysis for solar hydrogen production and storage at DICP, Fuxiang is now working with his colleagues on solar-to-chemical conversion involving photocatalysis for overall water splitting, electrocatalysis, precise synthesis of materials, in situ characterizations as well as understanding of catalytic reaction mechanisms. His team has assembled a series of powder-suspended systems for visible-light-driven overall water splitting to produce hydrogen with apparent quantum efficiency continuously updated since 2015, and have published ~200 peer-reviewed papers in the field of material science and heterogeneous photo/electrocatalysis.
Fuxiang was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2020 and Millions of Talent Projects National candidate in 2023.
