张教授简介：

Dr. Qichun Zhang obtained his B.S. (1992) at Nanjing University in China, MS (1998) in physical organic chemistry (organic solid lab) at Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Prof. Peiji Wu/Daoben Zhu’s group, ICCAS, Beijing), MS (2003) in organic chemistry (Prof. Fred Wudl’s group) at University of California, Los Angeles (USA), and completed his Ph.D. (2007) in inorganic chemistry at University of California Riverside (Prof. Pingyun Feng’s group, USA). Then, he joined Prof. Kanatzidis’ group at Northwestern University as a Postdoctoral Fellow (Oct. 2007 –Dec. 2008). Since Jan. 2009, he joined Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as an Assistant Professor. In 2014, he has been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. Besides these, he also has three-year working experience in research institute of Nanjing Chemical Industry Co. (Aug. 1992 – Aug. 1995) and two-year’s research experience in ICCAS (Aug. 1998 – Jun 2000). He has published ~ 145 papers and 4 patents (H-index: 31). Some of his papers have been published in Nature Chemistry, Scientific Reports, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Adv. Funct. Mater. etc.

报告内容简介：

In this talk, I will present several novel strategies in my research to prepare new exotic materials, which I hope to be helpful to graduate students for doing their own research. The strategies are (1) the chemical reactions among organic micro/nano-particles in aqueous solution; (2) surfactant-thermal method to control the bulk crystal growth of chalcogenides and MOFs; (3) “clean” reaction to approach larger acenes; (4) “doping” oligoacenes with heteroatoms; (5) inorganic-organic hybrid nanoprobes for the detection and imaging of ROS/RNS species.
