Professor Yue Zhang joins as Editor-in-Chief

Welcome to Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances!

We are delighted to welcome Professor Yue Zhang, University of Science and Technology Beijing, China, as our new Editor-in-Chief working across Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances, joining Professor Dirk Guldi as co-Editor-in-Chief for the journals.

Prof. Yue Zhang obtained his PhD in Metal Physics from the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) in 1993. He was elected as the academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) in 2019 and 2022 respectively and currently serves as the director of State Key State Key Laboratory for Advanced Metals and Materials, dean of the Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Science and Technology at USTB. Prof. Zhang has devoted his research to the synthesis, characterization, functionalization and advanced applications of semiconductor nanomaterials in energy and information, including two-dimensional electronic devices, energy conversion and storage devices, and information sensing systems.

“It’s a great responsibility for me to serve as Editor-in-chief. Pooling strength from our editorial team, we will strive to further extend the global impact of RSC journals, embrace a broader range of diversity to inspire more academic ideas, and keep on expanding the role of nanoscience exploration in backing sustainable social development.”
– Professor Yue Zhang

Professor Zhang will also act as an Associate Editor for Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances, handling manuscripts through peer review, and we welcome you to submit your latest work on nanomaterials and devices for electronics, energy and information sensing to his editorial office for consideration.

Professor Chunli Bai becomes Honorary Editor-in-Chief

We are also delighted to announce that Professor Chunli Bai, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, has been appointed as Honorary Editor-in-Chief. Professor Bai was one of the inaugural Editors-in-Chief of both Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances, working with the Royal Society of Chemistry for the past 14 years. We would like to thank him for his ongoing support of the journals and nanoscience community and look forward to working with him in this new role.

Professor Chunli Bai received his MS and PhD degrees from the CAS Institute of Chemistry in 1981 and 1985, respectively. From 1985-1987 he was at Caltech, USA, conducting research in the field of physical chemistry as a post-doctorate associate and visiting scholar. Returning home in 1987, Chunli continued his research at CAS Institute of Chemistry. From 1991 to 1992, he was a visiting professor at Tohoku University in Japan. His research covers the structure and properties of polymer catalysts, X-ray crystallography of organic compounds, molecular mechanics and EXAFS research on electro-conducting polymers, scanning tunnelling microscopy, and molecular nanotechnology.

Please join us in welcoming Professor Yue Zhang to Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances and congratulating Professor Chunli Bai on his new appointment!
