Then, he moved to Fudan University (FDU, China) 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 (Canada). Since July 2023, he is an ARC-Grant Funded Researcher A at The University of Adelaide (Australia), which his supervisors are Prof. Shi-Zhang Qiao and Prof. Yao Zheng.
Now, his interests include the electrochemical CO2/CO reduction and seawater electrolysis. He has published 14 peer-reviewed research articles as the first (or co-first)/corresponding authors in the international journals of Chem, Nat. Commun., Nat. Biomed. Eng., Adv. Mater. (2), Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Adv. Energy Mater. (3), etc. His papers have been cited around 1600 times (H-index 18, Google Scholar) with the average citation around 50 per article.
He was invited as the independent reviewer of high-impact journals, such as Nat. Chem., Nat. Commun., Adv. Mater., J. Energy Chem., etc. He was also acted as a Young Editoral Broad Member of eScience and Carbon Neutralization, and a Guest Editor of Micromachines. 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.
