Research Interests

Prof. Chen’s research interests include design, synthesis, properties and applications of inorganic-organic/polymeric nanocomposites, functional polymer materials, fibers, quantum dots, photonic crystals and supercapacitors, as well as microfluidic technique, microfluidic spinning technique and frontal polymerization. He devoted great effort to the development of optoelectronic materials such as quantum dot (QD)-based materials, photonic crystals, as well as a new microfluidic spinning technique for facile synthesis of functional fibers for applications in the areas of lighting, display, sensing, supercapacitors and artificial skin.

Academic achievements

Till now Prof. Chen has presided over 12 national projects, published more than 260 research papers in famous international journals (in which the amount of high quality research papers whose IF > 10 are more than 30, such as Nat. Commun., J. Am Chem. Soc., Adv. Mater., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Mater. Horiz.) and authored two monographs. Moreover, he has filed 60 patents and most of them have been very successful commercially.
