Prof. Qiao Shizhang from the University of Adelaide, Australia, visited Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter (FJIRSM) and delivered a seminar report entitled “Electrocatalytic Refinery for Production of Fuels and Chemicals” on November 23, 2023. 

Prof. Qiao joined the School of Chemical Engineering of the University of Adelaide (UoA) in March 2012 as a professor (the inaugural Chair of Nanotechnology). He is the founding Director of Centre for Materials in Energy and Catalysis (CMEC). His research expertise is in nanostructured materials for new energy technologies (electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, batteries, fuel cell). He has co-authored more than 530 papers in refereed journals, including Nature, Nature Energy, Nature Chemistry, Nature Materials, Nature Catalysis, Nature Communications, Science Advances, Angew Chem Int Ed, J. Am. Chem. Soc, Advanced Materials (over 101,320/117,500 citations, h-index: 164/176, Web of Sci./Google Scholar). He has filed seven patents on novel nanomaterials and attracted more than 35 million dollars in research grants from industrial partners and Australian Research Council (ARC). 

Prof. Qiao is currently an Editor-in-Chief of EES Catalysis (RSC), an elected Fellow of Australian Academy of Science (FAA), a Fellow of Institution of Chemical Engineers (FIChemE), Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) and Royal Australian Chemical Institute (FRACI). Dr Qiao is a Thomson Reuters/Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researcher (with 124 highly cited papers) in three categories of Chemistry, Materials Science, Environment and Ecology.
