Introduction

Research focuses on energy conversion electrocatalytic materials and two-dimensional functional materials, with particular emphasis on layered double hydroxides, transition metal chalcogenides, and high-entropy alloy-based electrocatalyst design. Primary research directions include overall water splitting, electrocatalytic green urea synthesis, and wafer-scale two-dimensional device integration. Major academic achievements include proposing a series of electrocatalytic regulation strategies, such as Cu-doped bimetallic sulfides, high-entropy chalcogenide alloys, and dual-site O-axial coordination, and elucidating the catalytic enhancement mechanisms including p–d orbital hybridization, lattice dynamic evolution, and in situ electronic redistribution. Publications as first author include high-level papers in top international energy and catalysis journals, such as Advanced Energy Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, and Chemical Engineering Journal. A review article was selected as an annual key review in Chinese Journal of Catalysis. Recognition includes being named to the Stanford Top 2% Most-Cited Scientists list and receiving the Chinese Journal of Catalysis Annual Outstanding Paper Award and the Annual Outstanding Contribution Award. Research projects led include the Hubei Provincial Natural Science Foundation for Youth and the university doctoral start-up fund, while concurrently undertaking major research initiatives on atomic-scale catalytic materials. Teaching responsibilities include core undergraduate courses such as Optoelectronic Materials, Semiconductor Physics, and Micro/Nano Fabrication.
