Scientific Achievements & Selected Publications

It has long been committed to the research of zeolite confinement chemistry and catalysis, focusing on the specific chemical behaviors and their intrinsic nature within molecular-scale confined spaces, aiming to understand and regulate chemical behaviors at the molecular level. Over 200 academic papers have been published in journals such as ScienceNatl Sci RevChem, and Acc Chem Res, with more than 10,000 citations. It has obtained authorizations for over 30 national invention patents and completed the pilot-scale amplification of the synthesis and application of multiple zeolite materials. It holds positions including Editorial Board Member of Chinese Journal of Catalysis, Member of the Chemistry Editorial Group of National Science Review, Senior Member of the Chinese Chemical Society, Member of the Catalysis Division of the Chinese Chemical Society, Member of the Zeolite Division of the Chinese Chemical Society, and Director of the Key Laboratory of Advanced Energy Materials Chemistry (Ministry of Education).
