Personal Information

Yi Cheng, got his Bachelor and Master degree in Central South University, and received his PhD in Curtin University in 2015 under supervision of Professor San Ping Jiang. He worked as a postdoctoral research fellow in Curtin University from Dec. 2014 to Sep. 2018. His researches are focus on functional materials for environmental protection and renewable energy storage and conversion, which include tuning the atom arrangement of nanoparticles, controlling the size to achieve high synergistic effect between the nanoparticles or nanoclusters with the functionalized agents, and further pushing the size to limited “size”-single atoms to achieve high catalytic performance for a number of reactions. He has published more than 80 papers on Advanced Materials、Applied Catalysis B: Environmental、Journal of Materials Chemistry A、ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces、Chemical Communications etc.
