Dr. Quan-Hong YANG, born on February 1972, received his bachelor’s degree in polymer engineering from Tianjin Universityin 1994 and obtained his PhD on carbon materials from ICC CAS in 1999. He continued his carbon research in IMRCAS, CNRS France, Tohoku University and Southampton University. He became a full professor of Tianjin University in 2006 and is now also an adjunct professor of Graduate School at Shenzhen of Tsinghua University.
His research is totally related to novel carbon materials, from porous carbons, tubular carbons to sheet-like graphenes with their applications in energy storage (lithium-based battery and supercapacitor) and environmental protection. He serves as the memberof the editorialboards of ten journals including Carbon, Science China Materials, Energy Storage Materials, Materials Research Express(IOP), Transactions of Tianjin University. His research contributes to over 100 peer-reviewed papers published on Nature Chem, JACS, Adv Mater, Energy Enviorn Sci, Nano Lett, ACS Nano, etc. He received National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, Nature Science Award of Tianjin (1st class, 2013), the Science and Technology Progress Award of Tianjin (1st class, 2012) and the Brian Kelly Award (2004). Now he holds over 20 patents about graphene and nanocarbons.
