Scientific Achievements & Selected Publications:
Professor Zhenjie Zhang obtained B.S. and M.S degree (Advisor: Professor Peng Cheng) from Nankai University; then he gained Ph.D from Professor Michael Zaworotko’s group at University of South Florida. He conducted postdoc research in Professor Seth Cohen’s Lab at UC San Diego. After that, he moved back to China as a full professor in College of Chemistry at Nankai University. The Zhang Group is mainly focusing on the rational design of framework materials (e.g., COFs, MOFs and cages) for gas separation and gas-triggered actuators. A total of 136 papers were published in the past five years, 65 papers published as corresponding authors including 50 papers with IF>10: Nat. Sustain. (1), Nat. Protoc. (1), Nat. Rev. Chem.
