Professor Nanfeng Zheng was born in Zhangping, Fujian province in 1977. He received his B.S. from the Department of Chemistry, Xiamen University in 1998. In 2005, he obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Chemistry, University of California –Riverside supervised by Prof. Pingyun Feng. His thesis was on the synthesis and characterization of chalcogenide nanoclusters and their superstructures. During 2005-2007, he worked on gold catalysis with Prof. Galen D. Stucky as a research associate at University of California-Santa Barbara. In 2007, he moved to Xiamen University as a full professor. He is currently a Changjiang Chair professor at Xiamen University.
Prof.Zheng Nanfeng has received a number of prestigious awards including Distinguished Young Investigator Award from NSF-China (2009), the Second Prize of the National Natural Science Award and the Second Prize of the National Teaching Achievement Award (2018), the Scientific Exploration Award (2019), the Ho Leung Ho Lee Science and Technology Award (2021), Youth Science Award of the Ministry of Education (2018), the China Outstanding Young Science and Technology Talent Award (2016), the China Youth Science and Technology Award (2016), Chinese Chemical Society-Royal Society of Chemistry Youth Chemistry Award (2014), Chinese Chemical Society Young Chemistry Award (2012) , Distinguished Lectureship Award from Chemical Society of Japan, Zasshi-kai Lectureship from Dept of Chemistry, the Univ. of Tokyo, Inorganic Distinguished Young Scientist Award of American Chemical Society and other domestic and foreign awards. He is currently editorial board member of ACS Central Science, Chemical Reviews, Accounts of Chemical Research, Joule, Chem, Nano Research, Science China Chemistry and so on.
He is interested in surface interface coordination chemistry and understanding the nature of chemical properties regulation of metal nanomaterials at the molecular level. Aiming at the long-term challenge of metal surface interface chemistry research, the molecular structure of typical metal-organic interface and metal-carrier interface is cracked on the basis of developing new methods of metal surface interface modeling materials. The rules of precise control of catalytic and anticorrosive properties of metal nanomaterials by inorganic/organic coordination small molecule modification through the formation of directional interfacial electron transfer and specific interfacial spatial effects were studied, and new technologies of high selectivity catalysis and copper anticorrosion with application value were developed. Served as the chief scientist of the national key research and development program, and actively promoted the full chain of surface interface coordination chemistry from basic research to practical application. Some of the catalysts have been used in the green production of important fine chemicals in the industry, which has achieved substantial emission reduction of pollutants at the source. The development of original methods for copper surface coordination antioxidation is leading to alternative technologies to silver paste.
He has published more than 260 papers in journals such as Science and Nature, and cited more than 30,000 times. It has obtained 40 national authorized invention patents. Invited to write reviews and outlook articles in Chem. Rev., Acc. Chem. Res and so on. And give conference presentations at important international academic conferences such as JACS Forum.
