Personal profile
Dr. Kanghong Wang is currently an Assistant Professor in Department of Chemistry and Materials Science at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in Suzhou, China. Before he joined XJTLU, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Nanoscience and Technology at University of Science and Technology (USTC). He received his PhD degree in 2022 at Institute of National Research of Science (INRS), Canada. His research experience includes developing core/shell Quantum Dots (QDs) with multiple modulation on the size, structure, surface for the application on photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical hydrogen generation. His research efforts have resulted in many publications, including 12 first/corresponding author papers in journals including Chemical Society Reviews, Advanced Functional Materials and Nano Energy.
He is interested in design and synthesis of novel QDs as well as nanomaterials and their potential applications on solar-to-fuel conversion (such as hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, small molecule oxidation). He is also interested in advanced optoelectronic devices, such as photodetector, synapse for neuromorphic computing.
