EDUCATION AND RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Dr. Jie Zeng is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and PI of the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale. He has been selected to the “Recruitment Program of Global Experts” by the Chinese government in 2012.


Dr. Zeng was born in Shangcheng of Henan, China, in 1980. He studied applied chemistry at the USTC (B.S., 2002) and received a Ph.D. in condensed matter physics under the tutelage of Prof. J. G. Hou and Prof. Xiaoping Wang (2008). He worked with Prof. Younan Xia as a postdoctoral fellow at Washington University in St. Louis from 2008 to 2011 and was promoted to Research Assistant Professor in 2011. In 2012, he relocated to USTC to take the position of Professor for Chemistry in Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale. His scientific work has been published as 109 papers in prestigious journals (Nature Nanotechnol., Nature Energy, Chem, Nature Commun., Chem. Rev., Nano Today, J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Nano Lett., Adv. Mater., etc.), 2 invited book chapters, and 29 patents. As of March 2018, his scientific works have been cited more than 6,600 times (H-index = 41).


RESEARCH INTERESTS

Our research focuses on the selective transformation of small molecules such as CO, CO2, and CH4 into liquid fuels and value-added chemicals. It is of significant importance to achieve and illuminate the activation of stable chemical bonds between C, H, and O atoms over metal-based heterogeneous catalysts. Complexities and challenges stem from the inherent multi-component aspects of heterogeneous catalysis such as diversified active sites and vague mechanisms. To this end, we are devoted to tackling these issues from Atomic-level design of active sites and Atomic-level understanding of catalytic mechanisms.
