معرفی
Professor Hong-Liang ZHANG is affiliated with the Department of Chemistry at Xiamen University, where he leads the Inorganic Functional Materials Research Group established in 2017. His work bridges inorganic chemistry, materials physics, and electronics to develop green functional materials for energy and optoelectronic applications.
- BEng in Electronic Engineering, Shandong University (2003)
- MSc in Condensed Matter Physics, National University of Singapore (2008)
- PhD in Inorganic Chemistry, University of Oxford (2012) with Clarendon Fund Scholarship
His research focuses on oxide semiconductors and electrocatalysts, particularly perovskite and spinel transition metal oxides. Key areas include:
- Electronic structure analysis using synchrotron radiation and theoretical calculations
- Interface regulation for optoelectronic and water-splitting applications
- Defect and doping engineering in wide-bandgap materials
- Atomic-level control of ferromagnetic insulating states
- Development of photoelectrochemical water splitting materials
The 2020-2021 publications highlight trends in tuning electronic properties of Ga2O3, NiO, and LaCrO3 through doping and defects, alongside novel applications in memristors, solar cells, and electrocatalysis. Collaborations span institutions like Diamond Synchrotron (UK), Australian Synchrotron, and Shanghai Synchrotron.
Scientific awards include the Clarendon Fund Scholarship (Oxford, 2008-2012). His group has secured funding for synchrotron access and advanced equipment like pulsed laser deposition systems.
