Main research achievements

In the past five years, as the principal investigator, I have successfully completed two National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) projects (one youth fund and one regional fund) and am currently leading another ongoing NSFC Regional Fund projectI served as the Principal Investigator and successfully completed the Natural  Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars of Jiangxi Province, and I was honored with the title of the Academic and Technical Leader of Jiangxi Provincial Main Disciplines. As the first principal contributor, I was awarded the inaugural Jiangxi Provincial Teaching Achievement Youth Award. To date, as first/corresponding author (including co-first/corresponding), I have published 71 SCI-indexed papers in prestigious journals including Science Advances, PNAS, Chem, Matter, ACS Nano, and Chemical Science. I serve as a reviewer for internationally renowned journals including Angewandte Chemie International Edition and Coordination Chemistry Reviews, and also serve as the Discipline Leader in Physical Chemistry at Jiangxi Science and Technology Normal University.
