Meet Professor Dan Wang

Professor Dan Wang from Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, serves as Associate Editor of Materials Chemistry Frontiers.

His current research focuses on the design and controllable synthesis of functional inorganic materials with porous or hollow structures, and their applications in solar cells, Li-ion batteries and photocatalyst and gas sensors, etc.

Born at Jilin, Jilin province in 1969.Graduate from Jilin University, China, Dan Wang received the Bachelor’s degree from Jilin University in 1994. He entered a master’s degree program at his alma mater in the same year. He obtained his Ph.D. from Yamanashi University in Japan in 2001. He was awarded by Hundred Talent Program of the CAS, and served as professor of the Institute of Process Engineering, CAS in February 2004. And he earned the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars in 2013.

He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and he sits on advisory boards for several international journals, such as Energy & Environmental Science, Advanced Science, Advanced Materials Interface.

Research of his group is in the soft chemistry synthesis and application of inorganic functional materials including porous, layered and nano-sized materials. Emphases are placed on the development, design and application of the energy sources, catalyst and environment materials by self-assembly, surface modifying methods. Studies in the following fields are being performed: semiconductor metal oxide sensitive material, environmental friendly heat stabilizer for PVC, high efficient adsorbent for heavy metal ions, porous TiO2 films for photocatalysis, and so on.
