Invited by Prof. Shi Chen, Chair Prof. Xingzhu Wang from the University of South China, visited IAPME on January 24, 2025. Prof. Wang gave a talk on “Design and synthesis of functional molecular materials and their application in high-efficiency perovskite solar cells”.
Prof. Xingzhu Wang obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Hong Kong Baptist University in 2009. After postdoctoral work at the University of Cambridge and Nanyang Technological University, he joined the National University of Singapore from 2013 to 2017 as a Senior Research Fellow. He joined SUSTech in 2018 as an Associate Professor and was named Full Professor in 2020.
Prof. Wang’s current research interests relate to organic-inorganic synthesis, organic-inorganic semiconductors, and optoelectronic devices. He obtained 30 financial projects and had published 170 SCI scientific papers in high-quality and high-impact international journals including Science., Nat. Mater., Joule, J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem., Adv. Mater., etc. The published papers had been cited by more than 5000 times. He has 30 authorized patents. He has won more than 6 national and provincial science and technology awards.
Prof. Wang also had fruitful discussions on the collaboration of perovskite researches with multiple professors in IAPME. His expertise on materials synthesis shows plausible research collaboration routes on perovskite studies. After the discussion, Prof. Wang also visited multiple labs in IAPME and had a campus tour.
