个人简介

Dr. Wei Zhang is a lecturer of chemistry at University of Lincoln and an adjunct professor of materials science and engineering at Hubei Univeristy. He completed his PhD in January 2012 at National University of Singapore, working on the solid-state dye sensitized solar cells under supervision of Prof. Bin Liu. He then moved to Clarendon Laboratory at University of Oxford for his postdoctoral research since March 2012, working on perovskite solar cells under supervision of Prof. (FRS) Henry J. Snaith until February 2016. Dr. Zhang’ main research interest includes high efficiency and low-cost photovoltaic devices ranging from perovskite solar cells, dye sensitized solar cells to hybrid solar cells, fabrication of various nano-structures (1D, 2D semiconducting metal oxides, plasmonic materials, photonic crystals, anti-reflective coatings), and exploring prospective energy materials for solar cell and optoelectronic applications. Until now, he has published over 40 peer-reviewed journal papers (20 papers with impact factor >10.0) including Nature Energy (1), Nature Communications (3), Nano Letters (2), Energy & Environmental Science (6), Journal of the American Chemical Society (1), Angewandte Chemie International Edition (1), Advanced Materials (3), Advanced Energy Materials (1), Advanced Functional Materials (2), etc., with a total citation of over 3000 and H-index of 26. He is a reviewer of 25+ international journals including Chemical Reviews, Energy & Environmental Science, Advanced Materials, Advanced Energy Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Nano Energy, Chemistry of Materials, Chemical Communications, etc. Department Responsibilities Core Chemistry 1.1: Introduction to Energy, Change and Electronic Structure (CHM 1002M) Core Chemistry 3.2: Heterogeneous Systems, Surfaces and Nanoscience (CHM 3003M), Module Coordinator Professional Practice 3: Energy & Environmental Sciences (CHM3005M) Internationalisation activities Subject Specialism Advanced Energy Materials for Photovoltaic and Optoelectronic Devices Qualifications PhD — National University of Singapore, 2012 MSc — Hubei University, 2007 BSc — Hubei University, 2004 Awards 2017 Emerging Investigators — Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 2017 Best Ph.D Thesis Prize in Environmental and Sustainability Research — World Future Foundation, 2012 Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad — Chinese Government, 2011 President Graduate Fellowship — National University of Singapore, 2010 Postgraduate Research Scholarship — National University of Singapore, 2007 Professional Affiliations Crystals — guest editor of special issue in “metal halide perovskite crystals: growth techniques, properties EPSRC Peer Review Associate College — Member SUPERGEN SuperSolar Hub — Associate Member American Chemical Society — Member Royal Society of Chemistry — Member External Activities and Consultancy Adjunct Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Hubei University, China
