IntroductionProf. Xiang Zhonghua received his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) in 2013. Then he did a one-year postdoc in Case Western Reserve University before joining BUCT as a professor in July 2014.
Currently, he is both the master and doctoral supervisor of the School of Chemical Engineering, and one of the principals in the direction of Fuel cell and new energy materials in the double-first-class construction of BUCT. He has obtained the National Science Foundation for Excellent Young Scholars, Beijing Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars. He has published over 110 papers, including Science Adv., Nature Commun., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew Chem. Int. Ed., Adv. Mater. etc. He is also the inventor of more than 20 patents. EducationWork ExperienceSocial PositionSocial ActivitiesResearchProf. Xiang’s research focus on the key materials and devices for energy storage and conversion, including hydrogen fuel cells and zinc air flow battery. He established functional Covalent Organic Polymers (COP) with high water thermal stability and orderly structure for electrocatalysis, and aiming to develop high-performance, low-cost, non-precious metal oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts to replace Pt.
