Prof. Liang-Nian He obtained a doctorate in Chemistry in 1996 from Nankai University in 1996, followed by working in Wuhan University as a Chinese postdoctoral associate with Prof. Ren-Xi Zhuo from 1996-1998. He was an oversea student returning program (Ministry of Education of China) in 2004 having gotten AIST (National Institute of Advanced Science and Technology, Japan) fellowship 2002-2003, NEDO (New Energy Development Organization, Japan) fellowship 1999-2002. Currently, Dr He is a Professor of Chemistry at Nankai University, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (from 2011), “Chutian Scholarship” Distinguished Professor (from 2009), Bentham Ambassador (from 2016).
More than 300 papers with h-index of 64 were published in peer-reviewed journals and 32 patents were granted. He has edited 20 books and chapters and delivered over 80 invited lectures at international conferences, universities and institutes. He became one of Most Cited Chinese Researchers, Elsevier in 2014-2021, the top 1% of highly cited authors in RSC journals in 2014-2020. He has granted an award for Advancement of Science and Technology of PLA (2017), and Nature Science award of Tianjin in 2015, the CSIRO Distinguished Visiting Professor at (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization,Australia 2019).
His Current research interests cover green chemistry, catalysis, renewable carbon energy chemistry, and CO2 chemistry: CO2 activation and catalytic conversion into fuels/value-added chemicals, in situ transformation of CO2, combining CO2 capture and subsequent conversion in a carbon-neutral cycle, reductive functionalization of CO2, catalysis in green solvents, biomass conversion and green technology related to desulfurization.
In particular, we are developing methodologies and green processes for catalytically converting CO2 to valuable chemicals and fuels, proposing novel concepts and strategies for CO2 chemistry, for example, integrating carbon capture and subsequent conversion. Renewable energy-driven CO2 valorization in a sustainable way is one promising strategy that is an ongoing project in our group. On the other hand, we are also dedicated to rational designing effective materials for CO2 capture and conversion based on mechanistic investigations. Furthermore, several CO2 conversion technologies we have developed are being applied to industrial application.
