Dr. Chen Peng was born in 1995, Wuhan, China. He obtained his bachelor degree of engineering at Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in June, 2018. From May 2015 to June 2018, he was an undergraduate researcher under the supervision of Prof. Liqiang Mai and Prof. Qinyou An at WUT. Then, he moved to Fudan University (FDU) in September 2018, and earned his PhD degree at FDU in June 2023, under the supervision of Prof. Gengfeng Zheng. During the summer in 2019, he visited Canadian Light Source and Western University. Since July 2023, he is an ARC-Grant Funded Researcher A at The University of Adelaide, which his supervisors are Prof. Shizhang Qiao and Pro. Yao Zheng.

Now, his interests include the electrochemical CO2/CO reduction and seawater electrolysis. He has published 13 peer-reviewed research articles as the first (or co-first) authors in the international journals of Chem, Nat. Commun., Nat. Biomed. Eng., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Adv. Mater., Adv. Energy Mater., Small, etc. His papers have been cited over 1000 times (H-index, 15) with the average citation around 40 per article.

He was invited as the Guest Editor of Special Issue in Micromachines journal. He also obtained many honors and awards, including Nano Research Energy Young Star Researcher-Gold Award, Rising Talents Prize at the ENFL Virtual Asia-Pacific Graduate Student Symposium-ACS Fall, Chunyu Scholarship by Neware Company (Shenzhen), 14th Academic Star Special Award by Fudan University, Shanghai Outstanding Graduate Award, Tongji Kelan Education Scholarship-Special Award of Academician Dongyuan Zhao, National Scholarship for PhD Students, Dow Chemistry Scholarship, Xianghui Scholarship, China Building Materials Scholarship, etc.
