Experience
Prof. Jiong Wang received his B.Sci. (2010) degree in Chemistry from Nanjing Normal University, and Ph. D. (2015)degree in Chemistry fromNanjing University. Then he worked as a research fellow at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and joined Soochow University as afull professor (2021). His research interest is to develop novel heterogeneous electrocatalysts for critical reactions emerging in energy conversion and storage. The focus is tostudy, i) electrochemical fundamentals of phthalocyanine and porphyrin structures, ii) electron transport of novel silica based electrodes, iii) electrocatalytic conversion of carbon based chemicals. He is also the youth editorial board members ofJournal of Electrochemistry, Chinese Journal of Structural Chemistry,Nano Materials Science, Green Carbonand cScience.
